Mycosis fungoides palmaris et plantaris--an unusual variant of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

ABSTRACT

Mycosis fungoides (MF) represents a low-risk, cutaneous, non-Hodgkin, T-cell lymphoma with a wide spectrum of clinicopathological manifestations and therefore may mimic a number of other dermatoses. Sometimes the clinical diversity makes the diagnosis of MF, and especially its atypical forms, challenging. We report on an 18-year old male patient, who had been previously diagnosed with palmoplantar eczema. Clinical, histopathological, immunohistochemical and molecular findings revealed an atypical case of MF.
