ABSTRACT

Introduction: Cutaneous lymphadenoma is a benign tumour with an uncertain histogenesis. Many authors do not accept this entity.
Material and methods: We report a case of cutaneous lymphadenoma in the face.
Results: Our case has histologic characteristics that correspond with the ones referred in the literature.
Discussion: Many lymphadenomas may have been diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma, syringoma or trichoblastoma.
