Cutaneous plasmablastic lymphoma: retrospective comparative study of primary and secondary skin involvement
In this pooled analysis, cases presenting with primary cutaneous involvement tended to occur in older patients and more often involved the legs. However, these observations should be interpreted cautiously given small numbers and heterogeneity of the available data. Within pcPBL, EBV positivity correlated with better survival. These hypothesis-generating findings provide a basis for prospective, multi-centre studies to clarify classification, staging implications, and management of this rare lymphoma.
