Abstract:

Background: Folliculotropic Mycosis Fungoides (FMF) is a rare and distinctive variant of MF (Mycosis Fungoides) which is found in approximately 10% of MF patients, and those patients can present with folliculotropic lesions such as comedones, cysts and acneiform lesions. Methods: Histopathologic examination and immunohistochemistry staining were done for different skin biopsies. Flow cytometry and TCR gene rearrangement were also carried out. Results: H&E and IHC along with the clinicopathologic algorithm for the diagnosis of early MF were in favor of FMF. Conclusion: Early diagnosis can be critical for patients with FMF and clinicians should consider such rare presentations and consider folliculotropic MF as a differential diagnosis.
