Abstract In the present study, we describe the use of electrochemotherapy as alternative therapy for primary cutaneous marginal zone B ‐cell lymphomas in patients unsuitable for surgery or radiotherapy. Our experience refers to three patients with primary cutaneous marginal zone B ‐cell lymphomas related to Borrelia burgdorferi infection, treated with specific antimicrobial therapy and electrochemotherapy.
