Abstract
We report a 38-year-old woman with lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) who had nod ular and papulovesicular lesions develop on the genital area and oral commi ssure. Mucosal involvement in LyP is a rare event, and its clinical relevan ce is still unknown. Aggressive therapies are not recommended in patients w ith LyP with either cutaneous or mucosal involvement.
