title: [Lymphomatoid papulosis resembling ecthyma. A case report].
abstract: A 54-year-old female patient recurrently developed disseminated papules, red-brown in color and partly ulcerous, which spontaneously disappeared after 3-6 weeks. Histological examination revealed dense infiltration of atypical lymphocytes with epidermotropism. Immunohistological analysis showed predominantly helper T-cells (CD 4). Accordingly, we established the diagnosis of lymphomatoid papulosis. There was no evidence of malignant lymphoma.
