Benign Lymphocytic Infiltration of Skin: A Case Report

Abstract

Benign (Jessners) lymphocytic infiltration of the skin is a chronic, benign T-cell infiltrative disorder, usually manifesting as erythematous papules or plaques on the face, neck and back. We report the case of a 30-year -old female, who presented with erythematous papules and plaques on face, upper back, front of chest, of 4 months duration and erythematous plaque on both dorsa of hand and Fore arms of 1 month duration. Skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of jessner's lymphocytic infiltration of the skin. The evolution was favorable with hydroxy chloroquine.
