Abstract
|
|
|
Cutaneous pseudolymphoma has been defined as a benign lymphocytic infiltrate of the skin that resembles cutaneous
lymphoma both clinically and histologically. There are many known causes of skin pseudolymphoma, but a definite
cause cannot frequently be identified. We report here on a 37-year-old female with pseudolymphoma on the left ear
lobe after having her ear pierced. When we performed a biopsy, an earring was found by chance. Unlike most of
the reported cases of pseudolymphoma after ear piercing, this patient did not show a delayed-type hypersensitivity
reaction to gold or nickel.
