Is the only way to diagnose lymphomatoid papulosis through a biopsy of an eruption, and if so, does the biopsy have to be taken during a certain phase of the eruption in order to show positive results for the disease? Thank you.

 Hello,The diagnosis of this peculiar condition showing atypical lymphocytes with CD30 positivity resembling lympho proliferative tumors yet with self limiting course with good prognosis,is indeed a very interesting condition.Type A the histocytic type Type B the lymphocytic type,type c the anaplastic type could only be differentiated by histopathology and immuno histochemistry and phenotype studies.This disease has a malignant look on histopathology but benign course clinically.The disease would show up as mildly itchy papules on the trunk which disappear in a month or two leaving behind a depressed scar.Cause is not known.Oral psoralens with ultraviolet light(PUVA) is the gold standard in therapy.
Best wishes.
