Abstract
In this chapter the various criteria that are used to differentiate between pseudo-B cell lymphomas and cutaneous B cell lymphomas are reviewed. The changing concepts that have resulted from the introduction of new diagnostic techniques such as immunohistochemistry and immunoglobulin gene rearrangement analysis are emphasized.
