Abstract
The primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (PCBCL) is a rare neoplasm. It is believed that antigenic stimulation and chronic inflammation can be the basis of pathogenesis. Here, we report a case that to our knowledge is the first patient with a presentation of a PCBCL arising from a surgical scar, in particular, an inguinal hernioplasty. The case reminds us of the importance of raising clinical suspicion for malignant neoplasms in surgical scars, in particular, after mesh placement. <b>MeSH terms</b>: 'lymphoma, large b-cell, diffuse', 'skin' and 'cicatrix'.
