Abstract:
During pregnancy profound immunologic, metabolic, endocrine, and vascular changes occur. Because of these changes, some diseases are affected by pregnancy. These diseases can aggravate or improve during pregnancy. Lymphomatoid papulosis is a continuing self-healing eruption whose lesions are clinically benign but histologically contain malignant-appearing cells. We report a case of lymphomatoid papulosis which developed in 30-year-old pregnant woman. And we discussed the possible association between lymphomatoid papulosis and pregnancy.
