Abstract
- Cutaneous pseudolymphoma refers to a heterogeneous group of benign reactive T- or B-cell lymphoproliferative diseases of the skin that resembles cutaneous lymphoma both clinically and histologically. Although most pseudolymphomas develop from unknown causes, various stimuli can induce pseudolymphomas. Pseudolymphomas have developed followed medications, infections, insect bites, ear piercing, and gold. To date, no case of pseudolymphoma developing after gold acupuncture has been reported in the Korean dermatologic literature. We report a case of a 49-year-old female who presented with multiple skin-colored papules on the left lower eyelid that showed features of a pseudolymphoma based on histopathologic assessment.
