Childhood Cutaneous Lymphoid Hyperplasia Following Feline Scratches

Abstract: Cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia or pseudolymphoma is a usually benign inflammatory response that mimics lymphoma. Stimulation from foreign antigens introduced into the skin can induce this response. Scratches from pets are an effective mode of transmitting infections and inoculating foreign antigens into the skin. We report an unusual case of a child where cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia presented as subcutaneous nodules at sites scratched by a pet cat.

“…On the other hand, 80% of patients revealed intensive pandermal infiltration, predominantly with CD4-positive T cells, in drug-related lesions. When reviewing previous case reports that analyzed clinicopathological features according to the causative agents mentioned above, some were comparable to our results but others showed somewhat different manifestations [1,[15][16][17]. Moreover, a variety of pathological features can be manifested according to specific agents in the same group.…”

“…Another case in a child suggested cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia secondary to recurrent inoculation of Bartonella henselae due to feline scratches. The lesions responded to azithromycin and disappeared completely after the cat died (40).…”

“…La etiopatogenia de estas lesiones es desconocida, pudiendo en algunos casos ocurrir como una respuesta inmunológica local reactiva a desencadenates tales como, picadura de insectos, acupuntura, vacunas, tatuajes, fármacos, exposición a alérgenos de contacto o asociado a infecciones por herpes zóster, Borrelia burgdorferi, Leishmania donovani o molusco contagioso. Los fármacos más frecuentemente asociados a estas lesiones son fenitoína, inhibidores de la enzima convertidora de la angiotensina II, antihistamínicos y menos frecuentemente bromocriptina y cefuroxima Gambichler et al;Gissler & Heininger;Nihal et al;Madhogaria et al;Stavrianeas et al, 2007;Magro & Crowson, 1996;Saeed et al, 2000). En ambas pacientes el uso de losartan (inhibidor de la enzima convertidora de la angiotensina II) y fenitoína son el único factor desencadenante asociado.…”

“…El curso de esta enfermedad es benigno, desapareciendo las lesiones espontáneamente en semanas o meses, pudiendo, en algunos casos persistir en forma indefinida y/o recidivar; existiendo incluso reportes aislados de progresión a linfoma. Dada la posibilidad de progresión maligna, es que algunos autores plantean la interrogante en cuanto a la naturaleza de estos tumores, postulando que los pseudolinfomas representarían mas bien al espectro benigno en la escala evolutiva hacia un proceso linfoproliferativo maligno Gissler & Heininger;Madhogaria et al;Ploysangam et al, 1998;Bouloc et al, 1999).…”
