Abstract:
Lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) is a benign skin condition that typically presents with grouped or scattered lesions on the body that self-resolve within weeks or months of onset. LyP belongs to the group of CD30-positive lymphoproliferative disorders. Several histological variants of LyP exist, and the histological features of LyP can overlap with other lymphoproliferative disorders; therefore, both histological and clinical correlations are needed for a proper diagnosis of LyP. We report an unusual case of LyP displaying a T follicular helper cell-like phenotype and histopathologically resembling the primary cutaneous CD4-positive small-sized to medium-sized T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder.
