Angus, Affleck, Croft, Leach, Slater, Millard (2007) Dermatitis artefacta in a 12-year-old girl mimicking cutaneous T-cell lymphoma Pediatr Dermatol (IF: 1.2) 24(3) 327-9Abstract
Dermatitis artefacta or factitious disease may be unrecognized in children. We present a 12-year-old girl who had an unusual facial lesion on the chin, which was self-inflicted but histologically mimicked cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Our report emphasizes both the potential diagnostic pitfalls and the importance of clinicopathologic correlation.
