Long-term levomepromazine use caused lymphoma-like skin lesions in a patient. Stopping the phenothiazine drug and switching to melperone led to complete remission, confirming levomepromazine

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pharmacology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Cutaneous pseudolymphoma is a rare condition.
  • Phenothiazine antipsychotics are known for various side effects.

Observation:

  • A 59-year-old male presented with lymphoma-like skin infiltrates.
  • The patient had a history of long-term levomepromazine treatment.

Findings:

  • Discontinuation of levomepromazine resulted in complete remission of skin lesions.
  • Switching to melperone, a different chemical class drug, maintained remission.
  • This confirmed levomepromazine as the causative agent for drug-induced pseudolymphoma.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering drug-induced pseudolymphoma in differential diagnosis.
