Rare pseudolymphoma localized at the contact site by a "contact allergic" also"photocontact allergic" also "aerogenic" mechanism with clinical and histological criteria and aspects of contact allergic dermatitis and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

Occurrence/Epidemiology

Epidemiological data are not available. The disease is extremely rare. m>w

Etiopathogenesis
This section has been translated automatically.

Special contact allergic reaction to different types of food allergens.

The following allergens are listed in the literature: methylisothiazolinone , benzydamine hydrochloride, minoxidil, metals such as gold, cobalt, nickel and 4-tert-butylphenol.

Manifestation
This section has been translated automatically.

40-60 years; the average in a larger study (n= 23 patients) was 58.5 years.

Clinical features
This section has been translated automatically.

The clinical picture is similar to contact allergic eczema and is therefore limited to the site of application.

Histology
This section has been translated automatically.

Histologically there are characteristics of a Mycosis fungoides.

Note(s)

Lymphomatoid tissue reactions, which describe tissue reactions that have a "lymphoma-like aspect", belong to the category of "pseudo-lymphomas". Pseudolymphomas after systemic medication are described in a large number of drugs (see below lymphocytic drug reactions) and are characterized by a very different clinical morphology.
