Pseudolymphoma is an inflammatory response that results in a lymphomatous-appearing but benign accumulation of inflammatory cells. [DorlandsDict|seven/000087852|pseudolymphoma]

Presentation

It may exhibit histological and sometimes clinical features suggestive of malignant lymphoma. Unlike lymphomas, pseudolymphomas usually undergo spontaneous remission.

Causes

Causes include idiopathic, drugs, contact allergens, photosensitivity, insect bites, scabies and infections.

Etymology

The term "pseudo" means "not real", and "lymphoma" means "a cancerous tumor of lymphocytes".
