Radiotherapy in aggressive cutaneous pseudolymphoma: a case report and review of literature

“…CD8 positive CPSL has also been reported in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patients [ 5 ]. Pseudolymphomas have been described in various other sites and organs including eye, parotid gland, larynx, gastrointestinal tract, lung, tongue [ 6 ], orbit [ 7 ], kidney [ 8 ], breast [ 9 ] etc. We describe an unusual presentation of an extensive and locally aggressive CPSL in a young patient and his successful treatment with radiation therapy.…”
