Abstract:
We report herein a case of lymphomatoid papulosis in a 23-year-old female who had recurrent erythematous pinhead to pea sized papules and nodules on the both inner thighs and forearms for 4 years. Some lesions showed central hemorrhagic necrosis or scale formation. Individual lesions persisted for several months and showed spontaneous regression leaving pigmentation or depigmented atrophic scar. Histopathologically, there was marked cell infiltration, especially in the dermoepiderrnal junction and perivascular area. Infiltraled cells consisted of sorne ncutrophils and numerous atypical cells that had variable sized and irregular shaped nuclei. Electronmicroscopically, some atypical cells had cerebriform nuclei with marked peripheral condensation of chromatin and cytoplasm contained a few organelles, many polyribosomes and some dense bodies.
