Background: Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (PCBCLs) are rare cutaneous neoplasms with limited literature regarding treatment options and associated treatment outcomes. This study aimed to investigate and present real-world treatment outcomes in patients with PCBCLs.
Methods: All patients with PCBCL who were treated in five major referral centers for cutaneous lymphoma in Greece over 10 years were retrospectively included with their baseline characteristics and treatment-associated outcomes collected and analyzed.
Article Synopsis
- Primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCLs) are a diverse group of skin-related non-Hodgkin lymphomas, primarily affecting T- or B-lymphocytes, and there's a lack of extensive data on their occurrence.
