Summary Cases of pseudolymphoma induced by intradermal gold injection or gold piercing have previously been described. Most of these cases showed the histopathological finding of B‐lymphocyte predominant lymphocytoma cutis. We describe a patient with gold acupuncture‐induced T‐cell‐rich pseudolymphoma. Some T cells showed positive staining with CD30. The lesions responded to an intralesional injection of triamcinolone acetonide.
