Lymphomas with a nodular growth pattern are most often of B-cell origin. A nodular proliferation of lymphocites with low-grade atypia and head and neck location are most probably Follicle centre cell lymphoma. It is necessary to add bcl-2 and CD10 immunostains to exclude cutaneouos involvment of a systemic nodal lymphoma.

Primary cutaneous follicle center cell lymphoma. There’s a mixed proliferation of cleaved centrocytes and noncleaved centroblasts in a rare follicular growth pattern admixed with small lymphocytes in the interfollicular areas.
B-cell pseudolymphoma must be considered, but I didn’t find tingible body macrophages nor well-developed marginal and mantle zones for a reactive lymphoid hyperplasia.

My impression also is follicle centre BCL for complete immunos.

Follicular lymphoma. This one was Bcl-2 and CD10 positive.

Late to the party. For me, the absence of brisk mitotic activity in the follicular centers was an additional helpful clue in addition to the absence of tingibles, for the Dx of FCCL.
