Abstract
The authors address the entity of cutaneous lymphadenoma. Although considered benign,
cutaneous lymphadenoma can be easily misdiagnosed as basal cell carcinoma because
of its close clinical and histological resemblance. This entity is rare and controversial
both in terms of its histogenesis and the various diagnostic terms assigned to it
throughout the literature. While rare, cutaneous lymphadenoma should be considered
in the differential of any facial nodule or papule in addition to the more common
basal cell carcinoma, nevi, cysts, and appendiceal tumors.
