Lymphomatoid papulosis with antigen deletion and clonal rearrangement in a 4-year-old boy.

Lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) is rarely seen in children. We report a case of LyP in a 4-year-old boy in whom immunopathologic studies demonstrated T cell antigen deletions. In contrast to all but two previous reports, a T suppressor (CD-8) phenotype was predominant. Southern blot analysis of DNA isolated from a typical skin lesion indicated a clonal rearrangement of the T cell receptor beta gene. Because of a 10% frequency of malignant lymphomas in patients with LyP, long-term observation is crucial, especially in children. We recommend routine clonal rearrangement studies for aid in diagnosis and follow-up, and as possible prognostic indicators in children with this condition.

Vulvitis circumscripta plasmacellularis.

In this paper we present what is apparently the tenth published case of vulvitis circumscripta plasmacellularis (Zoon). The patient had eroded, red-brown, asymptomatic vulvar lesions that were recalcitrant to treatment. The characteristic histopathology--dense plasma cell infiltrate and deposition of hemosiderin--was present.
