Lichenoid lymphohistiocytic infiltrate refers to a specific histopathological finding characterized by a band-like or lichenoid pattern of immune cell infiltration, primarily composed of lymphocytes and histiocytes, at the dermal-epidermal junction of the skin. This pattern is often associated with various skin conditions, including lichen planus, drug reactions, and certain autoimmune diseases. The infiltrate can lead to changes in the overlying epidermis, such as liquefactive degeneration, which is a hallmark of lichenoid dermatitis. Diagnosis typically requires a skin biopsy and careful histological examination.
When the skin is infiltrated by lymphocytes and histiocytes (activated macrophages). These are immune cells (white blood cells) that act in response to defend the body from disease by killing pathogens, unrecognised/foreign bodies and tumor cells. A lymphohistiocytic infiltrate is often seen in eczema.
I just had a lichenoid keratosis removed by a plastic surgeon. My dematologist said it looked like a squamous cell carcinoma, which I have had on the same leg. For that reason alone, I had it removed. It came back as benign, however, I have been reading that a lichenoid keratosis is like a pre-cancerous actinic keratosis, which can turn into cancer. I am happy it is gone.

Lymphohistiocytic refers to a type of tissue characterized by the presence of both lymphocytes and histiocytes, which are a type of immune cell. This condition can occur in various diseases, including certain infections, autoimmune disorders, and some malignancies. The term is often used in pathology to describe the histological appearance of tissues affected by these cells, indicating an immune response or inflammation. It can be seen in conditions like lymphadenitis or specific types of lymphoma.
