JESSNER LYMPHOCYTIC INFILTRATE
Jessner lymphocytic infiltrate (JLI) is a benign T-cell infiltrate of the skin of unknown cause. It is most common in adults, but may rarely affect children.
Some experts combine this entity with lupus erythematosus tumidus.
Erythematous, red, non-scaly, infiltrated papules, plaques, and arcs of the face, arms, and trunk are seen.
Workup
ANA, Ro, and La should be checked to exclude lupus, and a biopsy performed. In fact, the distinction between lupus erythematosus tumidus and JLI is not that clear.
