“…In this case, a test for B. burgdorferi infection was not performed because South Korea is not an endemic area of this bacterium and the patient did not have any symptoms suggestive of Lyme disease. PCMZL is often asymptomatic as in this case [ 5 ]. Because of its potential for misdiagnosis as an infection or a benign mass, detailed imaging studies and laboratory tests are necessary.…”

“…The diagnosis and treatment of recurrent cases follow the sample principles as used in primary cases. Agnihotri et al [ 5 ] and Dumont et al [ 9 ] recommended complete excision for solitary lesions, but did not precisely state the safety margin. In this case, wide excision of the tumor was performed, with a safety margin of 3–5 mm, to prevent recurrence and simultaneously allow the defect to be closed with a local flap.…”

“…The most common locations of PCMZL are the trunk and upper extremity, and it less frequently occurs on the head and neck [ 1 , 3 ]. PCMZL is often misdiagnosed due to its atypical clinical manifestations [ 4 , 5 ]. In this report, we present a rare case of PCMZL that occurred on the face of an Asian patient.…”

Primary cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (PCMZL) is an uncommon type of malignant lymphoma that mainly occurs in the trunk and upper extremity, with less frequent incidence observed on the head. Herein, we report the early diagnosis and treatment of a rare case of facial PCMZL in an Asian patient. A 51-year-old man presented with masses on the forehead and nose tip, which he had incidentally discovered 2 months previously. The masses appeared as a papule on the forehead and a patch on the nose. There were no signs of infection or bleeding, and the patient reported no other symptoms. After complete surgical excision, PCMZL was diagnosed based on the permanent biopsy. The histopathological findings revealed lymphoid aggregations with multifocal granulomas. Further treatment and follow-up were conducted at the hematology and oncology department. Despite its rarity in Asian populations, cutaneous lymphoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of facial masses. Early diagnosis and treatment based on a physical examination, imaging study, and excisional biopsy are important for a favorable prognosis.
