Follicular lymphomatoid papulosis

Abstract

In two patients who episodically developed eruptions of papules and nodules for many years, the lesions developed at the sites of hair follicles or around ruptured follicular cysts. They were pseudomalignant lymphomas in histologic appearance and benign in biologic behavior. From its limitation largely to follicular adnexa, the condition appears to be a distinct type of lymphomatoid papulosis.
