We present a case of Jessner's lymphocytic in-filtrate of the skin in a 40-year-old man. The patient had non healing ch•onic inflarnmatory erit-hemapustulous lesions on the face and uppeı- pan of the auı•icles. bilaterally. First histopathologic di-agnosis of the patient was "Discoid lupus ery-thematosus". The lesions appeared on the ,face and made a deformity on the nose. In o•der to achieve exact diagnosis and treatment, all the lesions on the face excised and reconstructed hy a split skin grafit. Auricular lesions that were not treated such a this way, heakd spontaneously. Histopathologic exa-mination of the specimen that was excised from the lesion and healthv skin. revealed that the diagnosis is Jessner's lymphocvti• infiltrate. The reason of spontaneous healing of the auricular lesions exp-lained with no exposure of the auricles to sunshine.
