title: Atypical lymphoid infiltration occurring at the site of a healed varicella zoster infection.
abstract: Herpes zoster infection has been associated with a number of cutaneous reactions. The authors report the first case of a patient with an atypical epidermotropic lymphoid infiltrate that arose within skin previously affected by herpes varicella zoster. The differential diagnosis of such lesions and review of literature on previous cutaneous infiltrates occurring at sites of zoster infection are discussed
