“…17,[19][20][21][22] Rarely, BLP develops at the site of a tattoo, which may cause relative immunosuppression because of increased mercury and iodine levels in that area. 23,24 A list of bacterial pathogens and causes of immunosuppression of BLP are listed in Box 1.…”

“…In 1957, Brown and Kligman 4 reported two cases of “mycosis‐like pyoderma.” They had also heard of four additional cases from colleagues, although these did not conform in every particular to their cases. Yaffee 5 reported a case that was reported as “blastomycosis‐like pyoderma” occurring in the area of a tattoo. One textbook of dermatology also uses the descriptive term, “blastomycosis‐like pyoderma.” 6 Other examples continue to be reported.…”

Some sites of chronic localized infection have a vigorous granulocytic inflammatory response and develop marked tissue proliferation. This is most common in patients with poor nutrition, halogen ingestion or foreign bodies. The granulocytes release connective tissue-activating peptides which cause fibroblast proliferation and ground substance formation. The dermal papillae enlarge and support a larger germinative cell volume, producing pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia. Hypertrophic granulation tissue or "proud flesh" appears to be a similar phenomenon without the epithelial component. In a milder physiologic range this phenomenon probably accounts for the term "laudable pus."

“…This entity was first described in 1903 by Azua and Pons under the name pseudoepitheliomas cutanes . Brown and Kligman in 1957 used the term mycosis‐like pyoderma, and a few years later Yaffee presented a case occurring in the area of a tattoo as BMLP.…”

Blastomycosis-like pyoderma is a form of pyoderma with variable clinical findings and histopathological features. We present a case series of 39 patients collected over a 35-year period to demonstrate its clinical features and histological findings. The most common clinical presentations found were solitary plaques, solitary nodules, sinuses, crypts, verrucous plaques and discharge, usually on sun-exposed skin. The most common histopathological findings were chronic granulomatous inflammation, suppurative inflammation, sinus and abscess formation, pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia, transepidermal elimination and scarring. We discuss its treatment and the recent literature that has focused on its response to acitretin.
