Cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia and marginal zone B-cell lymphoma following vaccination

J Am Acad Dermatol. 2005 Sep;53(3):512-6. doi: 10.1016/j.jaad.2005.04.036.

Abstract

Atypical lymphoid infiltrations arose within the influenza inoculation sites of two adult female patients. One patient developed a low-grade cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MZL) that was responsive to local excision and radiation therapy despite spread to a distant cutaneous site. The second patient's clinical course was characterized by a locally aggressive, histologically reactive inflammatory reaction responsive only to radiation therapy after multiple failed attempts at surgical resection.
