[Cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphoma treated with rituximab].

Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZL) is probably the most frequent of the primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas, which are entities with indolent behavior. Clinically, it appears in middle-aged patients as papules, nodules or erythematous plaques, solitary or multiple, on the trunk and proximal part of the limbs. The prognosis is excellent despite frequent cutaneous recurrences. We present the case of a 40-year-old male who, after having several recurrences of MZL over a ten-year period, was treated with rituximab for multiple skin lesions. The patient showed full remission after four weeks of treatment, and developed cytokine-release syndrome after the first infusion of the drug.
