title: Case for diagnosis.
abstract: A fifty-five year old Caucasian male presented with infiltrated plaques and nodules on the left leg. The lesions had been present for 6 months. He presented associated cardiopathy, nephropathy and endocrinopathy. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations confirmed the diagnosis of cutaneous diffuse B cell lymphoma. CD 20, CD 79a and Ki-67 were positive. Chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, adriamycin and vincristine promoted partial remission.
