RESUMEN
Los linfomas cutáneos primarios de células B (LCPCB) forman parte del grupo de linfomas no Hodgkin y representan un grupo heterogéneo de neoplasias con un tropismo especial por la piel. La etiopatogenia y el curso clínico de estos linfomas difieren de lo descrito para las neoplasias nodales correspondientes desde el punto de vista morfológico, y esto ha justificado la clasificación órgano-específica propuesta por la EORTC. Sin embargo, la falta de consenso con los criterios diagnósticos para las diferentes entidades que componen el grupo de los LCPCB ha supuesto que su clasificación sea un tema de continuo debate y base de las discrepancias en la terminología empleada entre anatomopatólogos, hematólogos, oncólogos y dermatólogos.A pesar del excelente pronóstico que presentan la mayoría de estos linfomas, las recidivas ocurren en un 30 a 60% de los casos, lo que hace indispensable un protocolo de seguimiento periódico y pautas de tratamiento acordes con la historia natural de estas neoplasias, estos aspectos se describen en el presente artículo.
