Lipomelanotic

The term "lipomelanotic reticulosis" was created by Pautrier and Woringer' in 1937, to describe lipomelanotic deposits in enlarged lymph nodes; the condition was associated with certain generalized dermatoses.

Numerous lysosomes were seen in the cytoplasm of alveolar macrophages, usually linked with a lipomelanotic pigment (fig. 87) appearing brown under the light microscope.

Dermatopathia lymphadenitis is a chronic lipomelanotic hyperplasia of reticulum cells of the pulp of the lymph-nodes.
