Article Abstract
This is the case of a 27-year-old male patient with a newly diagnosed extensive lymphomatoid papulosis type A involving cosmetically sensitive areas (e.g. face), who refused to be treated with a low dose of methotrexate, as recommended by the published literature. The natural course of the disease was proved to be strikingly satisfying though, with a complete regression of all skin lesions at the 4-week follow-up, including an ulcerated nodule 3 x 3 cm in dimension, which was expected to heal at least in months. We report this case to reconsider weighting the risks and the short-term benefits of methotrexate treatment, even in the case of an extensive disease.

Lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) is a rare cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorder involving the dysregulation of CD30-positive T-cells that accumulate in the skin. The accumulation of CD30-positive T-cells leads to the development of papulonodular lesions, which typically follow a protracted course and often resolve spontaneously in a matter of days to weeks. This case report describes a 44-year-old male patient who initially presented to the dermatology office with recurrent nodules under the right eye.

Background: Lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) is a rare, chronic, recurrent, self-healing, indolent cutaneous lymphoproliferative disorder. Histologically, it resembles malignant lymphoma; however, its clinical manifestations are predominantly characterized by benign behaviors, including recurrent papules, nodules, and necrotic lesions.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a middle-aged female who initially presented with a giant ulcer on the right foot and was surgically treated at another hospital as a keratoacanthoma (KA).
