Primary cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (PCMZL)

Hi Lori,
Yes. It was quite a shock for myself and my family. I was told I had a basal cell carcinoma. It was on my forehead. I had been feeling extraordinarily fatigued. They excised it. It was sent for biopsy by my Consultant Dermatologist. I was called back in after about 3 months (after it had been excused) to be informed it was in fact a Primary Cutaneous Marginal zone B-Cell lymphoma. When told I nearly fainted. My Consultant Dermatologist referred me off to a Consultant Haematologist.
Yes I am under the care of a haematologist Oncologist. My blood work was being carried out quarterly. I think they have forgotten about me. I don’t quite know how that could happen? I will call that office on Monday 24 March 2025 to set up an appointment. M
Many thanks for your help and assistance
Kindest regards

That had to be a heckuva shock to find out your basal cell lesion was in fact, PCMZL. If you were on a quarterly recall from the hematologist, I’m thinking as you are, that somehow your name wasn’t on the call list for this month. So, don’t hesitate to call and set up an appointment.
Are you currently on any treatment for your PCMZL?

Hi Lori,
I had asked for a MOHs Surgery for the excision of what I was initially told was a Basal Cell Carcinoma but was told it was unnecessary by my Consultant Dermatologist. As said above my biopsy came back 3 months later approximately I was then told it was a Primary Cutaneous Marginal Zone B-Cell lymphoma
Kindest regards
