Abstract:
Lymphomatoid papulosis(LyP) is a chronic recurrent self-healing condition, with histological features suggestive of a malignant lymphoma. LyP usually develops in adults and lesions occur episodically over the trunk and limbs. Lymphomatoid papulosis has been reported only rarely in children. Furthermore localized and regional forms of lymphomatoid papulosis have been described very rarely. We report a case of CD30(Ki-1) positive LyP developed in childhood who had recurrent skin lesions confined to the face.
