Abstract
We present the case of a 77-year-old male who consulted his physician because of an asymptomatic indurated erythematous papule which had appeared one month earlier on his left leg and had quickly and progressively increased in size. Concurrently, other similar lesions had been appearing on the thigh and back of the same leg. Histological analysis detected a large cell lymphoid infiltrate positive for CD20 and bcl-2 throughout the dermis. The extension study was normal. The patient was treated with an intravenous infusion of rituximab for four consecutive weeks, with full remission of the lesions.
