Introduction:

the primary cutaneous lymphoma of the follicular center is indolent; 95% survival over five years; is the most common LCCB (35%). They have a predilection for larger adult males. It manifests with papules, plaques and solitary tumors or grouped mainly in the skinned hair, in front of the trunk. The purpose of this work is the presentation of the case due to the unusual appearance in this location and to be the first in our service and province.

Clinical case:

JVL patient of 58 years of age, who is consulted with doctors at the Dermatology service for presenting injuries in the hair of 3 months of evolution. Physical examination: There are lesions located in the hair, tumors in the number of 4 rounded violet erythema of the ulcerated center with serohemic secretion and telangiectasias on their surface that are painful. Multiple, small adenopathies, movable in bilateral cervical region. The histopathological study of the tumors was carried out to confirm the planted clinical diagnosis.

Discussion:

lymphomas are malignant tumors of the lymphorecticular system, representing 25% of the total PCL. This neoplasm appears fundamentally between 40 and 60 years and 2.2 times more often in men than in women, in case the patient had 58 years of age. If I believe that this pathology is unheard of, in one case it appears in many with lesions in the hair in one of the least reported locations, but with the classic lesions of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas, the tendency to ulcers is reduced. find in the form of follicular center and diffuse B-cell lymphomas as in this case.

Conclusions:

we present this presentation of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma that is infrequently ill, seen mostly in men, but in a diffuse variety, it is observed more frequently in the hair in an ulcerated form as it appears in our case and because it is the first diagnosed in our province.
