Abstract

A localized form of lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) has been described very rarely. A 38-year-old Korean man presented with a single bean-sized, non-tender, erythematous nodule confined to periorbital areas with three recurrences over a 2-year duration. With findings of biopsy, immunohistochemical staining and T-cell receptor gene rearrangement, LyP was diagnosed. We report a case of CD30 (Ki-1)-positive LyP which developed recurrently and was confined to the periorbital areas.
