title: Primary cutaneous precursor B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma with late dissemination.
abstract: A 20-year-old woman presented with multiple painless nodular swellings on the skin of the extremities and face, without any systemic symptoms. Biopsy with immunohistochemistry revealed a diagnosis of precursor B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. There was no extracutaneous site of involvement. The patient denied chemotherapy and was subsequently lost to follow-up. She presented with symptomatic disseminated disease 18 months later and rapidly succumbed to her illness.
