Abstract:
Jessner’s lymphocytic infiltration of skin is an uncommon disorder characterised by benign
accumulations of lymph cells in the skin. It is of unknown aetiology and presents as erythematous
papules and plaques on the face, neck and/or back, with possible itching of the skin surrounding
the lesions. The lesions may remain unchanged for many years and then spontaneously disappear,
without residual scarring. Current literature on this topic are limited and numerous treatments have
been tried with limited success. We report a recent case of Jessner’s lymphocytic infiltration seen in
our practice and discuss the histology and our approach to management.
