Özet
Medicinal leech application is a common traditional therapy used for various disorders in many cultures for thousands of years. Although it is usually a safe method, serious side effects can also be seen. As a rare side effect of this method, cutaneous pseudolymphoma is a reactive skin disease caused by foreign antigens, infectious processes and arthropod bites. Idiopathic cases sometimes can be seen. In this article, we present a case of cutaneous pseudolymphoma in an elderly woman with multiple nodules over her lumbar region emerging after leech application.
