Abstract:
We report herein a case of lymphomatoid papulosis showing atypical clinical manifestations. A 54- year-old man had had recurrent erythematous necrotic papules and nodues, numbering more than 200 lesions at the most aggravated time, on the trunk, extremities, buttok, and face for the last twenty years. Recently, he complained of tender swelling on the neck, axillae, and inguinal lymph nodes accompanied by mild fever and gerneral weakness. We had performed thorough examinations including biopsy from the skin lesions, lymph node, and bone marrow to detect some evidences of transforming to malignant lymphoma, but found no evidence of malignant lymphoma except aneuploidy on DNA histogram. The patients showed proinpt response to methotrexate 10-30mg par week wit,hout showing distinct side reactions to the accurvulated dose of 780mg for the last 16 months.
