Abstract:
Lymphomatoid papulosis is a disease; clinically benign, histologically malignant. Clinically, it may sirnulate pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta, but histologically it suggest malignant lympboma due to the presence of polymorphous lymphoid infiltrate consisting of sma11 lymphocytes intermingled with conspicuous large atypical cells. Recently, many autbors consider lymphornatoid papulcsis as a Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and malignancy has been reported to develop in some patients. We experienced a case of lyrnphomatoid papulosis in 26-year-old woman and treated with PUVA successfully. PUVA treatment may be proven useful in controlling this disease and it rnay also inhibit the development of malignancy.
