Title
Pityriasis Lichenoides Et Varioliformis Acuta and Lymphomatoid Papulosis Type F: A Case Report of Two Entities in One Patient
Pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) and lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) are uncommon inflammatory skin disorders that occasionally share clinicopathological features. Differentiating between the two entities remains problematic, and a definitive diagnosis usually requires multi-step investigations, which is an enormous challenge to physicians. We hereby report a rare case of a 22-year-old female patient diagnosed with PLEVA who later developed LyP type F, a new histological variant of LyP. Our report highlights that long-term follow-up is essential to determine associated hematologic malignancies, particularly in cases with recalcitrant or progressive cutaneous lesions of PLEVA and/or LyP.
