Abstrakt: B-cell lymphoma is a lymphoproliferative non-Hodgkin lymphoma arising from B cells, a type of immune lymphocytes that produces antibodies in the follicles of lymph nodes. Primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (PCBCL), a subtype of B cell lymphoma, originates within cutaneous tissue without evidence of extracutaneous involvement. There are very few reports of PCBCLs originating in the scalp. The most common tumors of the scalp are usually benign with only 1%-2% being malignant, most being basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or melanoma. Primary cutaneous follicular cell lymphoma (PCFCL) is regarded as the most common lymphoma of the skin with an indolent course and favorable prognosis due to the response rate to treatment methods such as surgical removal with local radiotherapy, topical drugs, and intralesional therapies. This report highlights a rare case of PCFCL originating in the scalp, to raise awareness of a topic that requires continued established management.
