title: Lymphomatoid papulosis type C of the eyelid in a young girl: a case report and review of literature.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report an unusual presentation of a case of Lymphomatoid papulosis(LyP) in a young girl.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 14-year-old female presented with a history of swelling of the left upper eyelid of two weeks duration. There was a history of trivial trauma prior to the swelling. The patient was diagnosed as having pre-septal cellulitis elsewhere and was put on oral antibiotics. The lesion was non-responsive to oral antibiotics. The patient was then referred to our hospital. Ocular examination revealed an elevated lesion measuring 15 mm × 10 mm on the left upper eyelid, associated with pre-septal swelling and induration. Ocular movements were normal. The anterior and posterior segment examination was normal. Incision biopsy was done from the eyelid lesion. Multiple cutaneous lesions were also biopsied.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The histopathology examination confirmed the diagnosis of lymphomatoid papulosis type C. Dermatological and systemic evaluation ruled out the other aggressive forms of CD30(+) lymphoid proliferation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We report an unusual presentation of lymphomatoid papulosis(LyP) type C in a young girl. Complete systemic work up and histopathological evaluation is mandatory in cases of suspicious lesions, not responding to conservative treatment.
