Cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia: a case report -

Abstract

Cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia (CLH), occurring as a result of various antigenic stimuli, is considered as a process of reactive lymphoid and may have potential for progression to overt lymphoma. CLH lesions may resemble lymphoma both clinically and histologically. We present a case of a 24-year-old man who spontaneously developed lesions of unknown cause consistent with cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia. Thus, in this study we discuss the etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and management of CLH and also review the literature.
