Tattoo-associated pseudolymphoma is a rare inflammatory reaction. This case highlights a nodular infiltrate in a tattoo, diagnosed via clinical and histopathological evaluation, and successfully treated with surgical excision.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Pseudolymphomas are reactive inflammatory conditions with diverse etiologies.
  • Tattoo-associated pseudolymphoma is infrequently reported in medical literature.

Observation:

  • A 34-year-old woman presented with a nodular skin infiltrate.
  • The infiltrate was localized to the red-pigmented areas of a tattoo applied six years prior.
  • Previous topical steroid treatment was ineffective.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis was confirmed through clinical examination, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry.
  • Genotyping revealed a polyclonal proliferation, characteristic of a reactive process.
  • The lesion was surgically excised for definitive treatment.

Implications:
