Cutaneous pseudolymphoma occurring after traumatic implantation of a foreign red pigment

ABSTRACT

Cutaneous pseudolymphoma is an uncommon, benign lymphoproliferative disorder of the skin. Although this condition is most commonly idiopathic, its occurrence has been associated with cosmetic tattoos. We report a unique case of cutaneous pseudolymphoma that occured after accidental, traumatic inoculation of a red pigment in a healthy 33-year-old woman.
