A member asked:
I had a skin biopsy done and (superficial perivascular inflammatory cell infiltrate that contains lymphocytes and histiocytes) was found. what is this in laymans terms and what would be the best course of action? cardiologist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This biopsy result is not relevant to any cardiovascular problem and cardiologist is not interested in this. For sure, the lesion is not cancerous and it's consistent with a chronic inflammatory reaction. The exact diagnosis depends on the lesion characteristics, i.e. shape, size, location, how many, how long, any associated symptoms, etc.
