This case report highlights the occurrence of B- cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LBL) as a solitary cutaneous lesion without an existing systemic involvement and should be kept in the differentials while dealing with cases presenting with a similar clinical picture. We report the case of a 13-year-old girl who presented with a painful, progressively enlarging swelling in right zygomatico-temporal region, clinically simulated a deep fungal infection/granulomatous lesion and turned out to be a case of B-LBL without any systemic involvement on further work up. This case is being reported to emphasize that B-LBL should be considered as a differential for an otherwise benign appearing persistent lesion in the head and neck region.
本病例报告强调了B细胞淋巴母细胞淋巴瘤(B-LBL)作为一种无全身累及的孤立性皮肤病变的发生情况,在处理具有类似临床表现的病例时应将其纳入鉴别诊断。我们报告了一名13岁女孩的病例,她右侧颧颞部出现疼痛且逐渐增大的肿物,临床疑似深部真菌感染/肉芽肿性病变,进一步检查后发现是一例无任何全身累及的B-LBL。报告该病例是为了强调,对于头颈部看似良性的持续性病变,应将B-LBL纳入鉴别诊断。
