Cutaneous pseudolymphomas are a wide group of diseases mimicking cutaneous lymphoma. They comprise several skin conditions with different etiopathogenesis, clinical–pathological features, and prognosis, which may occur in the absence of an identifiable trigger factor or after administration of medications or vaccinations, tattoos, infections, or arthropod bites. They present with different manifestations: from solitary to regionally clustered lesions, up to generalized distribution and, in rare cases, erythroderma. They persist variably, from weeks to years, and resolve spontaneously or after antibiotics, but may recur in some cases. CD30+ T‐cell pseudolymphomas are characterized by the presence of large, activated lymphoid cells, generally in response to viral infections, arthropod assault reactions, and drug eruptions. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a ubiquitous Gram‐negative bacillus responsible for opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. Infection of intact skin in immunocompetent patients is particularly rare. Here, we report a case of a man presenting an isolated nodule histopathologically mimicking a primary cutaneous CD30+ T‐cell lymphoproliferative disorder. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
