Cosmetic skin lightening involves the intentional use of skin lightening agents solely for aesthetic purposes. This study investigated the practice of cosmetic skin lightening among African immigrants in Western Australia (WA). The result showed that there is need for further research to determine prevalence of cosmetic skin lightening practice among African immigrants in Australia and the spectrum of health effects associated with the practice. Public health information is required for both health care professionals and consumers and cosmetic skin lightening products available needs to be tested for toxicity.

Cutaneous B-cell lymphomas are a malignant proliferation of lymphocytes of the B-cell type. Mutation occurring at different points in B cell development leads to different forms of lymphoma. Rarely, it presents as verrucous plaques or widespread garland-like lesions. They are typically red to bluish. They are mainly found on one or both legs but it affects other sites in 10–15%. It represents an aggressive subtype of PCBCL. Primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphomas of leg type are rare, occur mainly in very old women, preferentially localize in the lower limbs and in 10 to 15% of cases, they are localized in another part from the body. We describe a case in a 66 year old man with an atypical localization in the left shoulder.
