Treatment of cutaneous pseudolymphoma with hydroxychloroquine.
A 45-year-old woman with generalized cutaneous pseudolymphoma of Spiegler-Fendt was successfully treated with hydroxychloroquine. It is felt that the suppression of lymphocyte and/or histiocyte function was responsible for the remission of the disease. This is apparently the first report of cutaneous pseudolymphoma of Spiegler-Fendt being successfully treated with antimalarials. The differentiation between cutaneous pseudolymphoma and cutaneous malignant lymphoma is also discussed.
