Abstract:
Primary cutaneous CD30-positive large cell lymphoma and lymphomatoid papulosis; both entities are characterized by CD30-positive large atypical cells predominantly of T cell origin. We report a borderline case between CD30-positive large cell lymphoma and lymphomatoid papulosis in a 57-year-old woman presenting as a spontaneous disappearing and recurrent solitary erosive nodule on the right upper eyelid. Histopathological findings of two biopsies from each lesion showed mixed CD30-positive large atypical cells, many eosinophils and neutrophils histologically. The nodule disappeared after chemotherapy and subsequent radiotherapy. She is well without recurrence for a follow-up of 9 months.
