Abstract

 Cutaneous pseudolymphomas are a group of benign reactive T- or B-cell lymphoproliferative processes of diverse etiology that simulate cutaneous lymphomas clinically and histologically. The diagnosis and classification of pseudolymphomas is a challenge for the clinical dermatologists and dermatopathologists. Lymphocytoma cutis (LC) is a prototypic lesion of cutaneous pseudolymphomas. It is characterized by a relatively dense, B-cell rich lymphoid infiltrate in the dermis. Here we report a case of lymphocytoma cutis presenting on the face.
