Jessner’s lymphocytic infiltration of the skin: A new case

Abstract

Jessner’s 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 47-year-old woman, who presented multiple erythematous infiltrated papules and plaques interesting the face, the forearms and hands. Skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Jessner’s lymphocytic infiltration of the skin. The evolution was favorable with antimalarial treatment.
