    abstract = "Lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) refers to an indolent cutaneous lymphoma.
The association of prognostic clinicopathological risk factors with a
second hematologic malignancy has not yet been determined. We
investigated the prognostic effect of clinicopathological
characteristics on the occurrence of a second lymphoma, as well as the
first-line treatment, in 24 patients diagnosed with LyP using logistic
regression models. We showed that lymphoma occurrence was associated
with a lower mean age at onset of LyP symptoms, histological types B and
C, head-located LyP lesions and a higher frequency of LyP recurrences.
In multivariate analyses, histologic type A was associated with a lower
risk of second lymphoma (odds ratio [OR] = 0.12, 95% confidence
interval [CI] 0.014-0.98; p = 0.045) adjusting for age of LyP first
symptomatology, and an important increased lymphoma-free survival rate
(long-rank test; p = 0.06). Clinicopathological characteristics are
important in defining the clearance or persistence of LyP lesions and
may predict the occurrence of a second lymphoma."
