Pseudolymphoma is a pathology which owes its name to the similarity of their injuries, from clinically histologically or both to lymphoma. Isotopic phenomenon describes the appearance of new lesions in the same location of other dermatological disease, in this case a herpes zoster, already solved. We present a 66 years old female that consulted for tumoral lesions in frontal region, where she had present a herpes zoster, one month before. It was performed biopsy with diagnosis pseudolymphoma. The lesions disappeared spontaneously without treatment, awaiting the histopahology report.

Keywords : pseudolymphoma; isotopic phenomenon; herpes zoster.
