Abstract

Pseudolymphoma, also known as Jessner’s lymphocytic infiltration, is a benign but usually chronic, T-cell infiltrating diseasewith erythematous papules and plaques usually seen on the skin of the face, neck, and back. The use of leech therapy also knownas hirudotherapy has increased in recent years. Here, we report a 52-year-old male patient who had undergone hirudotherapy inhis neck and developed infiltrating plaques after four months. A skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Jessner’s lymphocyticinfiltration. In parallel with the increasing use of hirudotherapy in recent years, the side-effect reports will likely to increase.Indications and contraindications of hirudotherapy, which is being used officially in hospitals, should be taken into consideration.

Özet

Psödolenfoma diğer adıyla Jessner’in lenfositik infiltrasyonu; genellikle yüz, boyun ve sırtta görülebilen, eritematöz papül ve plaklarla seyreden, derinin benign; ancak genellikle kronik, enfiltratif bir T-hücre hastalığıdır. Hirudoterapi olarak da bilinen sülüklerle tedavinin kullanımı son yıllarda giderek artmaya başlamıştır. Bu yazıda, dört ay önce boynuna hirudoterapi yaptırmış ve sonrasında enfiltratif plaklar gelişmiş 52 yaşında bir erkek olgu bildiriyoruz. Deri biyopsisi ile Jessner’in lenfositik infiltrasyonu tanısı doğrulanmıştır. Son yıllarda giderek artan kullanıma paralel olarak hirudoterapinin yan etki bildirimlerinin artacağı muhtemeldir. Hastanelerde de resmi olarak kullanılmaya başlanan hirudoterapinin endikasyonları ve kontrendikasyonları göz önünde tutulmalıdır.
