Division of Dermatology, Tokyo Teishin Hospital, Japan.

We described a 29-year-old Japanese woman with a pseudolymphoma syndrome due to carbamazepine. Physical examination revealed a diffuse erythematous papular eruption over almost all of her body with generalized lymphadenopathy. Histopathologic examination disclosed histology compatible with the nodular pattern of pseudo-T-cell lymphoma. The Southern blot analysis did not disclose the monoclonality of the gamma T cell recepter gene. We consider that it is very important to recognize this pseudolymphoma syndrome due to carbamazepine to avoid possibly subjecting the patient to unnecessary chemotherapy.
