Abstract:
Cutaneous lymphomas (primary and secondary lymphomas involving the skin) are a heterogeneous group with various clinical manifestations, histological features, and prognoses. Methods We describe eight cases of cutaneous lymphoma presenting with facial swelling. Results Our case series included three cases of primary cutaneous extranodal natural killer/T‐cell lymphoma, one case of secondary cutaneous extranodal natural killer/T‐cell lymphoma, one case of subcutaneous panniculitis‐like T‐cell lymphoma, one case of cutaneous CD 4+ small/medium pleomorphic T‐cell lymphoma, and two cases of peripheral T‐cell lymphoma (unspecified). Conclusions This collection of cases and literature review emphasizes the need for clinical suspicion of cutaneous lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of patients with refractory facial swelling.
