Primary Cutaneous Follicle Center Lymphoma of the Eyelid in a Young Man

Abstract

A 20-year-old male presented with a fast-growing nodule in his right inferior eyelid, no relevant history was obtained. Final histopathologic diagnosis of primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (CD20+, CD10+, bcl6+, bcl10+, mum1+, PAX5+, and bcl2-) was determined. The patient had a complete negative systemic work-up, and 3 cycles of consisting of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone chemotherapy were completed. The initial histopathologic diagnosis had been a non-Hodgkin diffuse large B-cell lymphoma which is an infrequent lymphoma type for this location too. To our knowledge, this is the youngest person reported presenting with an eyelid primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma.
