SUMMARY An 83‐year‐old woman presented with primary multifocal cutaneous B‐cell lymphoma, presenting as discrete nodules on the right pinna and nail‐bed of the left middle finger, diffuse swelling and erythema of several other nail‐beds of the fingers and toes, with associated pincer nail deformity and rhinophyma. Because of the involvement of several sites not amenable to radiotherapy, she was treated with oral cyclical chlorambucil with good result.
