PCDLBCL-LT accounts for 20% of all primary cutaneous B cell lymphomas (CBCL) and 5% of all primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCL). It is more common in the elderly (median age 75 years). The disease commonly manifests as rapidly-growing red to bluish often ulcerating, nodular tumors, plaques or violaceous nodules on one or both lower extremities. Only 10% to 15% of lesions develop in other areas. A prognosis of PCDLBCL-LT is poor, with a 5-year survival rate of 40 to 50%. The first-line treatment of PCDLBCL-LT includes immunochemotherapy, most commonly R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, prednisone). In the case of a solitary lesion, excision or radiotherapy should be considered. Many patients demonstrate cutaneous relapses (70%) or systemic dissemination (50%). Recent studies have reported the use of Bruton's tyrosine-kinase (BTK) inhibitors, BCL2 inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs and immune check-point inhibitors in treating relapsed or refractory patients. The study summarizes the current view of the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of PCDLBCL-LT, including genetic abnormalities and novel targeted drugs.</p>","PeriodicalId":18047,"journal":{"name":"Leukemia & Lymphoma","volume":" ","pages":"1603-1614"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144110941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The presented multicenter international study on a large cohort of PV patients validated the findings from prior reports and demonstrated excellent prognostic properties of the triple A model with respect to both thrombosis and survival in PV. Moreover, it revealed that the addition of patient comorbidities (assessed through the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI)) to ELN and triple A score may not help to further refine the survival prognostication of these patients.
