Cutaneous pseudolymphoma: a case series of three patients
Case series published in Front Med (2025)
Abstract
Cutaneous pseudolymphoma is a type of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia that pathologically and/or clinically mimics cutaneous lymphoma. It has a variety of pathogenic factors. However, in many cases, no etiology can be identified. The histopathological findings of cutaneous pseudolymphoma can only be used as the basis for suspected diagnosis. Clinical data, further diagnostic tests and follow-up are needed to confirm the diagnosis. This article reports three cases of cutaneous pseudolymphoma, with different etiology, clinical manifestations and treatment methods. The purpose of this article is to emphasize that the etiology and clinical manifestations of cutaneous pseudolymphoma are diverse, and targeted treatment strategies and long-term follow-up are needed.

Summary
Case series of three cutaneous-pseudolymphoma patients including hirudotherapy-associated context.
Why This Matters for Hirudotherapy
This case series examined three cases of cutaneous pseudolymphoma, a reactive lymphoid hyperplasia that mimics cutaneous lymphoma, to emphasize its diverse etiologies, clinical manifestations, and the necessity for targeted treatment strategies and long-term follow-up. While understanding various skin pathologies and reactive cutaneous conditions is broadly relevant to clinical practice, this article has no direct relevance to the American Society of Hirudotherapy. The study focuses entirely on diagnostic challenges and standard dermatological management. Furthermore, the provided abstract does not mention or evaluate the use of leeches, hirudotherapy, or the leech secretome at any point.
