Abstract

Abstract: Follicle center lymphomas, including primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL), may rarely show plasmacytic differentiation. Such cases can pose a diagnostic challenge and can be mistaken for other lymphomas that more commonly include plasma cells. Here, we report four cases of PCFCL and one case of systemic follicular lymphoma involving the skin with associated monotypic plasma cells, including the clinical, morphologic and immunophenotypic features.
