title: A case of lymphomatoid papulosis and Hodgkin's disease.
abstract: Lymphomatoid papulosis is a unique paradoxic entity characterized by recurrent self-healing papulonodular lesions with histologic features of malignancy. Usually the disease has a protracted benign course; however, it can be associated with or evolve to a lymphoproliferative disorder. Thus "lymphoma-associated papulosis" represents the malignant end of a wide spectrum. We describe a case of a patient with lymphomatoid papulosis who developed Hodgkin's disease 8 years after the onset of skin lesions. Systemic chemotherapy achieved complete remission of Hodgkin's disease, but recurrent papulonodular lesions continued to form in the subsequent 18 months.
