English abstract Cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type, is a rare, aggressive, and poorly prognostic neoplasm. It corresponds to 10-20% of cutaneous B-cell lymphomas and mainly affects the lower limbs of older women. We report the case of an 81-year-old woman with painful, fast-growing nodules and tumors in her left leg. Histopathological and immunohistochemical findings, associated with the absence of extra-cutaneous involvement during staging, concluded the diagnosis of cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type. The rarity of this limphoma, its typical clinic and epidemiology, and the excellent response to treatment motivated this report
Portuguese abstract O linfoma cutâneo difuso de grandes células B, tipo perna, compreende uma neoplasia rara, agressiva e de mau prognóstico. Corresponde a 10-20% dos linfomas cutâneos de células B e afeta principalmente membros inferiores de mulheres idosas. Relatamos o caso de mulher de 81 anos, com nódulos e tumorações dolorosos, de crescimento rápido em perna esquerda. Os achados histopatológicos e a imuno-histoquímica, associados à ausência de comprometimento extracutâneo no estadiamento, concluíram o diagnóstico de linfoma cutâneo difuso de grandes células B, tipo perna. A raridade, a clínica e a epidemiologia típicas e a excelente resposta ao tratamento motivaram este relato
