Primary cutaneous angioplasmocellular hyperplasia.
Primary cutaneous angioplasmocellular hyperplasia is a plasma-cellular infiltrate that has been reported only once previously in the literature, in a report of a case affecting two Latin American patients. In the present case, a systemically well 62-year-old Caucasian man presented with a nodule on the back of the neck. Histology showed a vascular proliferative process with an abundance of plasma cells in the stroma. There has been no recurrence of the lesion 2 years following curettage and diathermy. The clinicopathological presentation is consistent with primary cutaneous angioplasmocellular hyperplasia.
