Pseudolinfoma cutáneo es el término utilizado para indicar un grupo de trastornos linfoproliferativos benignos de la piel, siendo el linfocitoma cutis una forma de seudolinfoma de células B. Clínicamente se manifiesta como nódulos o placas solitarias, generalmente localizados en la cara de mujeres jóvenes. Su etiopatogenia estaría relacionada con una respuesta inmunológica local exagerada ante diversos desencadenantes tales como, picadura de insectos, acupuntura, vacunas, tatuajes, medicamentos e infecciones. Se presentan dos casos de pacientes con diagnóstico de linfocitoma cutis realizado en la Unidad de Anatomía Patológica del Hospital Hernán Henríquez de Temuco.
Cutaneous pseudolymphoma is the term used to indicate a group of benign lymphoproliferative disorders of the skin, being the cutaneous lymphomas a form of B-cell pseudolymphoma. Clinically it manifests as solitary nodules or plaques, usually located on the face of young women. Its pathogenesis could be related to an exaggerated local immune response to various causes such as insect bites, acupuncture, vaccinations, tattoos, drugs and infections. We present two cases of patients diagnosed with skin linfocitoma made in the Pathology Unit in Hernán Henríquez Hospital of Temuco.
