Summary:Lymphomatoid papulosis (LYP) is a chronic CD 30 + lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) which is characterized by chronic, recurrent, and self-healing papulonecrotic or papulonodular skin eruptions, which are clinically benign and histopathologically malignant. It can resolve spontaneously; however, long-term follow-up is essential as it can progress to malignant lymphoma in 10-20% of the patients. We hereby report a case of a 42-year-old male presenting with recurrent papulonecrotic lesions over the face, trunk, and extremities from the last 3 years which heal with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and atrophic scars with a history of treated pulmonary tuberculosis one year back. There was no systemic involvement. LYP, involving cosmetically sensitive area like face, is an infrequent finding.
