Abstract
- Lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) is a chronic self-healing skin eruption that is
clinically benign but histologically mimics a malignant lymphoma. However,
lymphomatoid papulosis with anaplastic large cell lymphoma responds poorly to
medical treatments, including chemotherapies. We experienced a 60-year-old male
patient with lymphomatoid papulosis occurred simultaneously with relapsed
Ki-1-positive anaplastic large cell lymphoma who was treated with salvage
chemotherapy but, unfortunately, failed to be rescued. We report it with a
review of the literature.
