Germinal center B-cell diffuse large B-cell lymphoma presenting as a chin mass: a case report
DLBCL may present in rare extranodal sites such as the chin, mimicking benign conditions. Persistent lesions unresponsive to antibiotics should prompt a malignancy workup. Comprehensive evaluation, including imaging and immunohistochemistry, is critical for timely diagnosis and effective treatment. Further research is needed to understand unusual immunophenotypes and progression pathways in DLBCL.
