Amongst these are relatively rare entities such as bowenoid
papulosis, epidermolytic acanthoma, and verruciform xanthoma, which are underrecognized by surgical pathologists.
The rationale for classifying lymphomatoid
papulosis as a cutaneous lymphoma is its association with other malignant lymphoproliferative disorders; however, some experts hesitate to classify this chronic skin disease as a true malignancy because of its spontaneous resolution and benign clinical course.

The primary cutaneous CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorders include Anaplastic large T cell lymphoma/null-cell primary cutaneous type ALCL, lymphomatoid
papulosis (LyP), and borderline cases of the EORTC classification with overlapping features of the other two conditions.5,10 The large atypical lymphoid cells express CD30, which is a 120 kd transmembrane cytokine receptor of the TNF receptor family being preferentially expressed by activated lymphoid cells.
Lymphomatoid
papulosis lesions appear as small self-healing papules, with a necrotic center that often appears in clusters and recurs in the same region of the body.
These histologic changes were most consistent with lymphomatoid
papulosis.
revealed that the number of Ki-67 positive cells within the dermis was significantly higher in stage IIB-IV MF (22.3%) and lymphomatoid
papulosis (26.3%) than stage I-IIA MF (4.3%) and parapsoriasis (6%).

Conditions resulting in inflammatory hemorrhage include leukocytoclastic or necrotizing vasculitis, although a few nonvasculitic conditions can be associated with palpable purpura and include chronic pigmented purpura, pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA), lymphomatoid
papulosis, and erythema multiforme.
