AB |PrintCutaneous  Pseudolymphomas  at  a  GlanceA  diverse  group  of  skin  disorders  characterized  by  dense  lymphoid  infiltrates  mimicking  various  types  of  cutaneous  lymphomas.Two  major  immunologic  categories:  (1)  mixed  B  and  T  cell  (cutaneous  lymphoid  hyperplasia,  Kimura  disease,  angiolymphoid  hyperplasia  with  eosinophilia,  Castleman  disease)  and  (2)  T  cell  (pseudomycosis  fungoides,  lymphomatoid  contact  dermatitis,  Jessner's  lymphocytic  infiltration  of  the  skin).Most  are  idiopathic  but  some  are  reactions  to  foreign  antigens  introduced  locally  or  systemically.Usually  present  as  violaceous,  solitary,  or  localized  papules,  plaques,  or  nodules.Some  cases  harbor  occult  dominant  lymphoid  clones;  occasional  cases  progress  to  overt  cutaneous  lymphomas.
