“…Differential diagnosis include B cell lymphomas, which shows monomorphic distribution of cells with atypia having bottom heavy distribution of cells, destructive growth affecting adnexae, thinned or absent mantle zone and mitotic activity both within and outside germinal centres. Various treatment modalities include topical or intralesional glucocorticoids, surgical excision, cytotoxic agents, interferons and antimalarials1 2 12…”

Lymphocytoma cutis, also known as cutaneous B cell pseudolymphoma, represents a spectrum of disease that shares similar clinical and histological features and simulates cutaneous lymphoma clinically and histologically. Clinically it is manifested as asymptomatic, indolent, nodular lesions of different sizes varying between 2 and 5 cm, usually solitary, mainly on exposed area of the body like face and neck. The presence of polymorphous cell infiltrates comprising of T and B lymphocytes, plasma cells, oeosinophils, histiocytes and dendritic cells along with lack of atypical lymphocytes after incisional biopsy support diagnosis of pseudolymphoma. Final diagnosis is made on immunohistochemistry.

“…There are case reports of histologically benign, immunohistochemically polyclonal lymphoid infiltrates of cutaneous B cell pseudolymphomas that have transformed to cutaneous B cell lymphoma 6. These lesions carry an excellent prognosis, provided they are completely resected in the early stages 7. Our case of a healthy child with a large frontal scalp mass without any history of trauma or arthropod bite highlights the challenge of diagnosing CPL.…”

The term cutaneous pseudolymphoma (CPL), an accumulation of lymphocytes in response to a foreign antigen or unknown stimuli lacks specificity, and has been used when neither cause nor mechanism for the lymphocytic proliferation has been identified. Cases of childhood CPL are rare and require extensive investigation because of their potential for malignant transformation. We report a case of a child with a scalp mass diagnosed as CPL.

“…In many cases, however, treatment with variety of therapies, including ultraviolet B light phototherapy, psoralen and ultraviolet A light therapy, topical 5-aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy, antibiotics, systemic or intralesional corticosteroids, azathioprine, cyclosporine, interferon alpha-2b, excision or radiotherapy are instituted with variable success. 7,19,20 …”
