AB  - The clinical and histopathological findings in a 25-year-old Japanese male 
      patient who suffered from chronic graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) with 
      follicular involvement are described. The patient had been diagnosed as aplastic 
      anemia and underwent an allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT). In the eighth 
      month thereafter, pruritic follicular red papules developed over his trunk and 
      extremities. A biopsy specimen revealed histological exocytosis of lymphocytes 
      into the hair follicles and basal-cell vacuolization of the follicular 
      epithelium. Analysis of T-lymphocyte subpopulations in the dermis revealed a 
      predominance of CD4 positive cells. To our knowledge, several cases of acute 
      follicular GVHD have been reported; however, the occurrence of chronic GVHD with 
      follicular involvement (chronic follicular GVHD) has not been clearly documented.
