Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia secondary to allergic contact dermatitis to Grevillea Robyn Gordon

Rowena E Meani et al. Australas J Dermatol. 2017 Feb.

Abstract

We report a case of pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia (PEH) in a 55-year-old woman following allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to Grevillea Robyn Gordon. We believe this to be the first reported case of PEH secondary to ACD, and postulate that this was an exaggerated response to severe ACD as a result of a lack of topical treatment.

Keywords: Grevillea Robyn Gordon; PEH; allergic contact dermatitis; patch test; pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia.
