Abstract:
Cutaneous B-cell pseudolymphoma (CBPL) is a reactive B-cell
hyperplasia that clinically and histologically mimics cutaneous B-cell lymphoma (CBCL). Many different terms have been used to describe this condition such as lymphocytoma cutis and cutaneous lymphoid
hyperplasia. This condition typically present as a solitary nodule or papule over face (cheek, nose and ear lobe), chest and upper extremities,
but multiple lesions may also be present. A variety of stimuli are known to induce this condition but most cases have an unknown cause. We report 2 cases of CBPL, the causes of which could not be ascertained.
