Abstract
Cutaneous lymphadenoma represents an uncommon follicular
adnexal neoplasm characterized histologically by epithelial lobules
associated with dense lymphocytic infiltrates. We describe a young
woman with a solitary forehead papule whose biopsy demonstrated
basaloid epithelial islands admixed with prominent intratumoral
lymphocytes, leading to the diagnosis. Complete excision resulted
in an excellent outcome with no recurrence. Awareness of this rare
entity is essential to differentiate it from basal cell carcinoma and other
adnexal tumors.
