ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To report an unusual presentation of a case of Lymphomatoid papulosis(LyP) in a young girl. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
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.CONCLUSION:
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.Palabras clave
