“…described with a frequency of around 4.3% patients with T-LBL as compared to B cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LBL) (16-33%). [4][5][6] As a result of a literature review, we identified total 22 cases (including our patient) of cutaneous T-LBL that either presented as a primary complaint or an associated systemic complaint 3,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] (Table 1). The ratio of male to female was 17:5, and the patients aged from 5 to 75, only 3 patients with cutaneous T-LBL were younger than 10 years.…”
