Lymphomatoid contact dermatitis due to ethylenediamine dihydrochloride.
A case of contact sensitivity to ethylenediamine dihydrochloride is reported. The clinical and histological features were in keeping with early mycosis fungoides. The eruption cleared with avoidance of the allergen. Continued contact with the allergen was traced to its retention in a trouser pocket lining. The term "lymphomatoid contact dermatitis" should be confined to cases where the lymphomatoid features are due to a positively reacting allergen.
