Lymphomatoid tissue reactions, which describe tissue reactions that have a "lymphoma-like aspect", belong to the category of "pseudo-lymphomas". Pseudolymphomas after systemic medication are described in a large number of drugs (see below lymphocytic drug reactions) and are characterized by a very different clinical morphology.
