Abstract
A 61-year-old woman had received chemotherapy for the treatment of follicular lymphoma over the past 5 years. She visited our hospital because of multiple papules that began to appear on her face and limbs since November 2011. The patient had no history of insect bite; however, her clinical and histological findings closely resembled insect bite. We diagnosed an insect bite-like reaction associated with follicular lymphoma. We treated the eruption with oral prednisolone at 10mg/day and observed an improvement in the condition. A lower dose of oral steroids showed improvement in our case compared with previous cases of insect bite-like reactions.Skin Research, 13: 16-19, 2014
