A localized form of lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) has been described very rarely. A 38‐year‐old Korean man presented with a single bean‐sized, non‐tender, erythematous nodule confined to periorbital areas with three recurrences over a 2‐year duration. With findings of biopsy, immunohistochemical staining and T‐cell receptor gene rearrangement, LyP was diagnosed. We report a case of CD30 (Ki‐1)‐positive LyP which developed recurrently and was confined to the periorbital areas.
