J Cutan Pathol. 2018 Mar;45(3):226-228. doi: 10.1111/cup.13089. Epub 2017 Dec 27.

Abstract

Cutaneous reactions to red tattoo pigment rarely manifest as pseudolymphomatous reactions. We describe an exceedingly rare case of red tattoo-related T-cell predominant pseudolymphoma microscopically mimicking mycosis fungoides. Careful clinicopathological correlation was required to obtain the correct diagnosis and aid in an effective treatment course.

Keywords: dermatopathology; pathology; pseudolymphoma; skin-delayed hypersensitivity.
