Jessner lymphocytic infiltrate
editJessner lymphocytic infiltrate of the skin is a cutaneous condition characterized by a persistent papular and plaque-like skin eruption which can occur on the neck, face and back and may re-occur. This is an uncommon skin disease and is a benign collection of lymph cells. Its cause is not known and can be hereditary.[1]: 1887 [2]: 727 It is named for Max Jessner.[3][4] It is thought to be equivalent to lupus erythematosus tumidus.[5]
It can occur as the result of ACE inhibitors and a number of medications used to treat multiple sclerosis including glatiramer acetate.[6]
