Abstract

The authors report on a case of pseudolymphoma cutis in a 48-year-old man. The clinical and histopathological characteristics of this benign skin disorder, especially regarding the differential diagnosis with cutaneous B or T cell lymphomas, are reviewed. Finally, the use of hydroxychloroquine sulfate is suggested for the therapy of pseudolymphoma cutis, especially when the causal factor is unknown.
