Overview

Pseudolymphomas simulate lymphomas clinically and/or histologically. The differential diagnosis of lymphomas and pseudolymphomas of the skin is one of the most difficult tasks of dermatopathology. In endemic regions of Borrelia burgdorferi infection, the most common B-cell pseudolymphoma is borrelial lymphocytoma. Similar lesions might be rarely induced by vaccination, insect bite and tattoo. The differential diagnosis of skin pseudolymphomas further includes a lymphomatoid drug reaction and an inflammatory pseudotumor of the skin. Clinical, histopathological and molecular-biologic features of these lesions are summarized.

Key words:
skin – pseudolymphoma – lymphocytoma cutis – cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia – Borrelia burgdorferi – differential diagnosis
