Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia is a benign condition defined by an exuberant proliferation of the epithelium with downward progression into the dermis. It may occur in reaction to several conditions including chronic cutaneous wound. We describe an unusual case of a florid pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia mimicking a well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, restricted to the red part of a rose tattoo.

Pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia (PEH) is a rare histopathological reaction. Cases of PEH have been infrequently reported, and it's even rare to appear as a postsurgical complication. This case report describes the development of multiple masses and purulent discharge around an abdominal scar following surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma, which morphologically resembles squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), though pathology revealed no signs of malignancy.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare inflammatory neutrophilic dermatosis that is difficult to diagnose due to non-specific clinical, laboratory, and histopathologic features. Distinguishing pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia (PEH) from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is also histopathologically challenging. The connection between PEH and PG is not well recognized, and instances of PG mimicking SCC are rare.
