Abstract: A 46-year-old female presented with infiltrated erythematous plaques on the nasal root for 2 years and prominent swelling of the left eyelid and bilateral preauricular area for 20 days. Skin biopsy on the nose root revealed a dense lymphocytic infiltrate of dermis with perivascular and perifollicular distribution. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed CD2(+),CD3(+),CD7(+),CD20(+),CD30(-),CD56(-),CD4(+),CD8(+),Ki67(10%+),EBER(-), indicating that the infiltrate was predominantly composed of mature T lymphocytes and a few B lymphocytes. The diagnosis of Jessner's lymphocytic infiltration was made.
