Jessner's lymphocytic infiltrate

Abstract

Although the pathophysiology of Jessner's lymphocytic infiltration (JLI) is not yet known; It is a rare entity in which etiological reasons such as genetic, autoimmune and drug use are questioned. JLI can be confused with many diseases, especially discoid lupus erythematosus, polymorphous light eruption and pseudolymphomas both clinically and histopathologically. In this article, the clinical features, differential diagnosis and treatment of a 26-year-old male patient diagnosed with JLI are discussed in the light of the literature.

Jessner’in lenfositik infiltrasyonu

Öz

Jessner’in lenfositik infiltrasyonunun patofizyolojisi henüz bilinmemekle birlikte; genetik, otoimmün, ilaç kullanımı gibi etyolojik nedenlerin sorgulandığı nadir görülen bir antitedir. Bu antite hem klinik hem de histopatolojik olarak başta diskoid lupus eritematozus, polimorf ışık erüpsiyonu ve psödolenfomalar olmak üzere birçok hastalık ile karışabilir. Bu makalede Jessner’in lenfositik infiltrasyonu tanısı almış 26 yaşında bir erkek hastanın klinik özellikleri, ayırıcı tanısı ve tedavisi literatür bilgileri ışığında tartışılmıştır.
