RESUMEN
The term cutaneous pseudolymphoma (C-PSL) is defined in the literature as a benign, reactive lymphoproliferation that clinically and/or histopathologically imitates cutaneous lymphoma. The exact etiopathogenesis has not been fully elucidated to date. A distinction is made between primary, idiopathic PSL without an identifiable cause and secondary PSL with a known stimulus. We report the occurrence of pseudolymphoma after treatment with medicinal leeches (hirudotherapy). To the best of our knowledge, a total of only nine cases of cutaneous PSL after hirudotherapy have been reported in the literature to date.

We present a rare case of a 4-year-old girl suffering from a sclerotic lesion on the forehead as well as uveitis and epileptic seizures. The patient was diagnosed with linear scleroderma "en coup de sabre" (LSECDS). Faced with no gold standard for treatment of LSECDS with severe extracutaneous manifestations, the case was intensively discussed within an interdisciplinary team setting and successfully treated.
