Cutaneous b cell lymphoma polymerase chain reaction test came inconclusive. one red lesion on scalp 28 yr old. are chances for skin lymphoma small?

There's a few tests: first, you'd look to see what cells are there. Obviously lymphoma cells and skin cells are not similar. Then you'd characterize the type of cell by a wide range of tools besides DNA. I truly don't know why DNA even matters here.
