Abstract
Follicular lymphoma is the most common type of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas
with a predilection for the scalp, forehead, and trunk. Herein we report a case of primary
cutaneous follicle center lymphoma on the scalp of 72-year-old female. The diagnosis was
made histopathologically, confirming the presence of centrocytes and centroblasts. Complete
resolution was achieved following administration of subcutaneous interferon α-2a at a dose
of 4.5 × 106 IU three times weekly for 3 months.
Keywords
