A clinical case of skin lymphocytoma in a young woman

A 25-year-old woman came to consult a dermatovenerologist. The woman complained of a rapidly progressing painless lump on the right wing of her nose which developed after photo-rejuvenation treatment and the development of herpetic infection.in the place of a previous lipoma removed by radio wave surgery. The clinical picture was characterized by a solitary disc-shaped plaque, 2 cm in size, bluish-reddish-brownish in color, of a doughy consistency, significantly protruding above the skin surface, with clear borders and a smooth, shiny surface. There was a complex differential diagnostics, the final diagnosis was confirmed by the results of a histological examination, which revealed changes characteristic of lymphocytoma. The patient was treated with aminoquinoline preparations and topical glucocorticosteroids and rapid positive dynamics with complete regression of the skin pathological process was observed. A clinical case of skin lymphocytoma that occurred after several successive trigger factors such as lipoma formation and removal, photo rejuvenation procedures, and herpes infection is presented in the article. This is a fairly rare disease that does not have a pathognomonic clinical picture, so it is difficult to differentiate and diagnose it. The results of a pathomorphological examination are essential for the diagnosis. A positive effect with a complete regression of skin changes can quickly occur if treated correctly.
