Abstract
Six patients with lymphomatoid papulosis demonstrated a clonal T-cell population in skin lesions by polymerase chain reaction methods. Two of these patients showed identical T-cell clones in their peripheral blood T cells as well. In one case, the clone persisted in the blood despite clearing of skin lesions with methotrexate.
