Follicular lymphomatoid papulosis

A patient with follicular lymphomatoid papulosis is reported. Only two cases of this rare variant have been previously reported in the literature. Lesions typical of lymphomatoid papulosis in this case were centered around disrupted hair follicles. They corresponded to the type A "histiocytic" variant of lymphomatoid papulosis. The histologic features and theories regarding histogenesis of this unusual disorder are discussed.
