title: Jessner's lymphocytic infiltrate responding to oral auranofin.
abstract: Jessner's lymphocytic infiltrate is a chronic benign T cell disorder with annular erythematous plaques found mainly on sun exposed sites. Topical and intralesional steroids, antimalarials, thalidomide and prozaquone have been used in treatment with variable success. We report a case of a 38 year old man who responded to oral auranofin after failing more established therapies.
