“…In the literature, there are few cases that have been reported with localized PL. First localized PL was 50 years old men with lesions on the left lateral trunk reported by Cliff et al in 1996 [11]. A women 62 years old was reported by Child as different localization that 4 years history of lesions on right breast .…”

Observation: Pityriasis lichenoides (PL) is a benign lymphocytic infiltrative skin disease that presents as papulonecrotic, vesicular or papulosquamos lesions. Etiology of the disease is still unclear. It usually occures in children and lesions are usually located on the trunk and extremities. A few cases have been reported about localised eruption. We present a case, 12 years old girl who has localised eruption on the right thigh for 2 years .

“…Rare cases of pityriasis lichenoides (PL) confined to acral sites have also been described 23‐26 . The reported acral cases of PL include unilateral, 23,25 and bilateral 24 exclusive acral involvement, and classic presentation with prominent acral involvement 23 . Histopathologically, PL is characterized by parakeratosis, spongiosis, mild to moderate acanthosis, vacuolar degeneration of the basal layer, necrotic keratinocytes, superficial, and deep perivascular dermal lymphocytic inflammatory infiltrate (which is often wedge‐shaped and obscures the dermoepidermal junction), and erythrocyte extravasation.…”

Acral lymphomatoid papulosis: Report of five cases, differential diagnosis, and review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Acral lymphomatoid papulosis (a‐LyP) is a rare clinical variant of LyP whose diagnosis may be challenging. A case series of a‐LyP was studied clinically, histopathologically, immunohistochemically, and from molecular point of view. Including ours, 25 cases of a‐LyP have so far been reported. Clinically, a‐LyP may present as acral involvement exclusively, in combination with mucosal lesions, (in itself a rare presentation), or in association with conventional LyP. The age of presentation was slightly higher than that of conventional LyP (55 vs 45 years) and a male predominance has been observed, as usually reported. Histopathologically, no morphological differences exclusively from conventional LyP were observed. LyP types A and E were the main variants. We describe for the first time one case of type D a‐LyP. Acral LyP is a rare entity and correct diagnosis can only be reached with clinical and histopathological correlation, to avoid aggressive treatment of this indolent lymphoproliferative disorder.
