[Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma-like pseudolymphoma in syphilis II].

Abstract

We report on a patient suffering from early secondary syphilis associated with hepatitis and generalized papular rash which clinically and histologically appeared as non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the centrocytic-centroblastic type. The benign course and the response of the papular rash to penicillin therapy as well as repeated histological examination of many plasma cells and epithelioid cells, however, revealed pseudolymphoma.
