Cutaneous lymphadenoma is a rare epithelial neoplasm that arises mainly on the skin of the head and neck. It was first described in 1991 by Santa Cruz et al.1 and has been reported in the literature under various names e.g. benign lymphepithelial tumor of the skin and adamantinoid tri-choblastoma.2 Histological findings have shown a florid mononuclear cell infiltration in the tumor nests and a detailed phenotypical analysis of T-cells showed that they mainly consisted of memory T-cells. As to whether cutaneous lymphadenoma is a benign or malignant skin tumor is under discussion by various authors but it has shown met-astatic tendency.3 We present a case of a cutaneous lymphadenoma with an unusual localization on the lower back in a 60-year old man.
