“…11 They belong to the spectrum of cutaneous pseudolymphomas, defined as B and/or T lymphocytic infiltrates of the skin exhibiting clinical and/or histopathologic features that mimic those of cutaneous lymphomas, but differing from this latter entity by their benign course. 12,13 Although cases of cutaneous pseudolymphomas have been related to well-identified causal factors such as Borrelia burgdorferi 14 or viral infections, 15,16 drugs, 17,18 or tattoos, 19 causal factors remain unknown in many cases. 12 So far, cutaneous lymphocytomas after vaccination have been scarcely reported, consisting of 3 cases of late-onset nodular lesions occurring in children after immunization with aluminium-adsorbed vaccines.…”

“…Clearly, T lymphocytes dominated. Accumulation of lymphocytes is a common feature of hypersensitivity reactions in contact dermatitis [11][12][13], adverse tattoo [14,15], drug [16], and orthodontic reactions [17,18]. Most recently, other authors had also described excessive lymphocytic infiltrates in periprosthetic iliopsoas muscle and deep connective tissues from patients with suggested metal hypersensitivity [7,[19][20][21].…”

Intraosseous lymphocytic infiltrates after hip resurfacing arthroplasty

To identify a possible role of lymphocytic infiltrates in failure mechanism of the metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty, the extent of lymphocytic infiltration was compared with reasons for prosthesis failure in a series of retrieval specimens. One hundred eighty-one femoral head and neck remnants were subjected to thorough analysis of histological findings and clinical data. Lymphocytic infiltrates were considered weak to moderate in 52 (28.7%) and excessive in ten (5.5%) cases. Six cases with excessive lymphocytic infiltrates belonged to the group of 33 (18.2%) revisions without obvious cause (periprosthetic fracture, component loosening, and infection) for prosthesis failure. Excessive lymphocytic infiltrates were strongly linked to the presence of proliferative desquamative synovitis (p < 0.0001). Both the excessive lymphocytic infiltrates and proliferative desquamative synovitis were associated with female gender (p < 0.05). We hypothesize that a specific cause of groin pain might be related to excessive intraosseous lymphocytic infiltrates and explained possibly by the hypersensitivity reaction of the delayed type after the hip resurfacing arthroplasty. Proliferative desquamative synovitis might constitute another morphologic feature associated with the delayed type hypersensitivity reaction.

“…Acute lymphadenopathy from tattoo placement is a well-known phenomenon that stems from local inflammation and probably resolves spontaneously [3]. Additionally, tattoo pigment can elicit localized pseudolymphomatous hypersensitivity reactions that may show histologic features of Spiegler-Fendt pseudolymphoma [4][5][6][7], and to elicit granulomatous and sarcoidal inflammatory responses in situ [8]. Furthermore, the intracutaneous tattoo pigment may trigger reactive lymphadenopathy when it migrates to the regional lymph nodes [3].…”
