Abstract:
Follicular mycosis fungoides is a distinct variant of mycosis fungoides. Clinically, it occurs mostly in adults, affecting more males than females. It is manifested as pruritic follicular papules, acneiform lesions, or indurated plaques, typically in the head and neck. Histopathologically, it is characterized by infiltration of atypical T lymphocytes with cerebriform nuclei in the follicular epithelium (folliculotropism). We report a case of follicular mycosis fungoides manifested as a milia-like lesion combined with the patch stage of mycosis fungoides, which was treated with radiotherapy.
