"Benign lymphoepithelial tumor of the skin" or "cutaneous lymphadenoma" is a distinctive benign adnexal tumor presenting a characteristic combination of lobules of epithelial basaloid cells with a peculiar histopathological pattern and a dense intraepithelial T-cell lymphoid and histiocytic population. We report an additional example of this peculiar neoplasm. In addition to the characteristic histopathological features, focal areas showing unequivocal follicular differentiation were observed at the periphery of the tumor. In agreement with other authors we consider that this neoplasm should be included within the spectrum of neoplasms of pilosebaceous origin. Nevertheless, we consider that the original and simple concept of "benign lymphoepithelial tumor of the skin" seems more suitable and illustrative than the more widely used term of "cutaneous lymphadenoma" to define this rare benign adnexal neoplasm.
“皮肤良性淋巴上皮瘤”或“皮肤淋巴腺瘤”是一种独特的良性附属器肿瘤，其呈现出上皮基底样细胞小叶的特征性组合，并伴有独特的组织病理学模式以及密集的上皮内T细胞淋巴样和组织细胞群体。我们报告了这一特殊肿瘤的又一病例。除了特征性的组织病理学特征外，在肿瘤周边还观察到明确显示毛囊分化的局灶性区域。与其他作者观点一致，我们认为该肿瘤应归入毛囊皮脂腺起源的肿瘤谱系。然而，我们认为“皮肤良性淋巴上皮瘤”这一原始且简单的概念，相较于更广泛使用的“皮肤淋巴腺瘤”一词，似乎更适合且更具说明性来定义这种罕见的良性附属器肿瘤。
