Cutaneous lesions as presentation form of mantle cell lymphoma

Abstract

Mantle cell lymphoma is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that affects extranodal areas, especially, bone narrow, digestive tract and Waldeyer ring. Here we report a case of mantle cell lymphoma IV Ann Arbor stage with cutaneous lesions on nasal dorsum and glans penis as the first manifestations. Skin involvement is a very rare manifestation and less than 20 cases have been reported in the literature. The importance of establishing multidisciplinary relationships for a global approach has been shown by this clinical case. © N. Merino de Paz et al., 2011.
