To report an unusual presentation of a case of Lymphomatoid papulosis(LyP) in a young girl. A 14-year-old female presented with a history of swelling of the left upper eyelid of two weeks duration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Abdominal Lymphadenopathy

  Chest CT-Scan did not find mediastinal or abdominal lymphadenopathy. Histopathological examination of a skin biopsy taken from a cheek lesion revealed an epidermal hyperplasia and a dense infiltrate in the dermis with epidermotropism. [dermatology.cdlib.org]

  Radiologic examination of chest revealed fibrostreaky densities in right upper lobe and CT scan of abdomen showed no intra-abdominal lymphadenopathy. [kjim.org]

We recommend that a search for thymoma be included in the workup of LyP. Further chemokine profiling in other cases of LyP may assist in understanding their role in this disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Lymphomatoid Papulosis Treatment Tips 1. Cortisone ointments will sometimes help. 2. Ultraviolet light treatment will help control lymphomatoid papulosis. 3. Methotrexate is sometimes used to treat lymphomatoid papulosis. 4. [streetdirectory.com]

IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The management of lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) is that of an indolent cutaneous lymphoma, based on its excellent prognosis. However, this good prognosis is altered if LyP is associated with lymphoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

What is the Prognosis of Lymphomatoid Papulosis? (Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Lymphomatoid Papulosis in a majority of individuals is excellent, since LyP is a self-limiting condition that resolves on its own. [dovemed.com]

Etiology Etiology is unknown. In some reports, a correlation has been found between the use of immunosuppressive medication (e.g. anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents) for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases and the occurrence of LyP. [orpha.net]

Even though the etiology of LYP is, in this case, uncertain, it should be considered as a clinical association of nephrotic syndrome in children and also included among potential triggers of the disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology No etiologic factors are known. Epidemiology All reported cases occurred in elderly adults (67-88 years, mean 75 years) with strong male predominance (9M:2F) (Karai et al., 2013). [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]

ETIOLOGY Lymphomatoid papulosis is characterized by chronic, recurrent and self-limited papulonodular skin eruptions.1 It may occur at any age but is most frequently seen in 20- to 40-year-old adults. Systemic symptoms are typically minimal. [the-dermatologist.com]

Although the etiology of localized LyP remains unknown, considering that 2 of 5 reported patients developed widespread lesions regional LyP may be the initial presentation of typical LyP [ 2, 7, 6, 9 ]. [dermatology.cdlib.org]

By following a healthy diet and exercise, symptoms of lymphomatoid papulosis can be prevented therefore check-ups are mostly the best preventive measures you can take. [epainassist.com]

Treatment provided symptomatic relief but did not prevent progression to lymphoma. LIMITATIONS: The limitation of this study is the retrospective study design. CONCLUSION: Patients with LyP are at increased risk of associated lymphomas. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Steroid creams do not prevent the development of new lesions but may be helpful in reducing the lesion symptoms. Cortisone treatments have been suggested to help heal the condition. [streetdirectory.com]

Topical bexarotene, in a region of localized disease, may prevent recurrence of the condition. Similarly, topical imiquimod cream 5% can hasten resolution of lesions. [clinicalgate.com]
