Lymphomatoid papulosis : A Case Report
Keywords:
Lymphomatoid papulosis, CD30 positive cutaneous lymphoproliferative diseaseAbstract
Lymphomatoid papulosis is one of CD30 positive cutaneous lymphoproliferative diseases. The clinical presentation is recurrent reddish-brownish papulonodular lesions that tends to spontaneously regress leaving hyperpigmented scars. Lesions usually occur over the trunk and the extremities. There is an association between lymphomatoid papulosis and malignanancies.
We reported a 39-year-old man presenting with multiple papulonodular lesions on his trunk and extremities. The histopathology revealed dense dermal infiltration with atypical monomorphous mononuclear cells that have pleomorphic large vesicular nuclei and some cells have hyperchromatic nuclei and atypical mitotic figure. The atypical cells expressed CD4 and CD30, suggesting the diagnosis of lymphomatoid papulosis. The lesions were spontaneously healed within 2 weeks.
