Popis: The genital system and skin involvement of diffuse B-cell lymphomas are quite rare. The appearance of these rare types in the same patient and the same period makes the treatment of the disease difficult. But both types respond well to anthracyclines and immunotherapies. A 74-year-old woman was treated with R-CHOP (Rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicine, vincristine, prednisolone) without surgery and/or radiotherapy, and no recurrence at 2 years follow-up. Despite the poor prognosis of these types of lymphomas, treatment responses are quite good as they are in other subtypes.
