Cutaneous B-Cell Pseudolymphoma: Report of Two Cases

چکیده
erogeneous group of benign reactive T or B cell lymphoproliferative disease of the skin. Cutaneous B cell pseudolymphoma (CBPL) shares many histopathologic and clinical features with cutaneous B cell lymphoma. Therefore, it is often impossible for the dermatologists to make a conclusive diagnosis of CBPL. Recently, Immunoglobulin gene rearrangement using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or southern blot analysis is considered as a predictive indicator of malignant outcome. We present two cases of CBPL which was initially diagnosed as cutaneous B cell lymphoma, but demonstrated polyclonality in the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) gene rearrangement by PCR method.
