ABSTRACT

Introduction: cutaneous pseudolymphomas (CPL) represent a heterogeneous group of benign B or T lymphocyte reactions that histopathologically or clinically mimic cutaneous lymphoma.
Clinical case: a 34-year old woman presented a nodular, firm lesion in the left upper limb, which appeared nine months after getting a tattoo at that same site. Histopathological study showed a dense diffuse band-like infiltrate from superficial dermis to hypodermis, predominantly composed of small and medium lymphocytes with a perivascular and periglandular disposition. Immunohistochemistry was positive to CD68, CD20 and CD3.
Discussion: the most frequent causal agents reported associated to cpl are drugs, tattoos and vaccines. We present a classic case of cutaneous pseudolymphoma associated to a red tattoo; this entity is infrequent, but given the high demand of tattoos, this complication could increase.
