Abstract
We describe two Korean adult patients who had necrotizing papulovesicles mainly on their faces. Skin biopsy specimens showed perivascular and periadnexal infiltrate of atypical lymphoid cells with vasculitis in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue.

Interestingly, large granular lymphocytosis was found in the peripheral blood of Case 2.Entities:
