ABSTRACT
Milia en plaque (MEP) is an uncommon skin condition identified as retroauricular confluent milium by Boulzer and Fouqet in 1903 [1]. It can be mistaken for other dermatoses like Favre-Racouchot nodular elastosis, steatocystoma multiplex, and nevus comedonicus. Milia en plaque can either be primary or secondary and is typically benign, often triggered by dermatological procedures like cryotherapy, as reported in this journal. In some cases, MEP can arise as a secondary manifestation of other diseases, including folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF). Despite this association, there are few documented cases in the literature. Herein, we present a patient in whom MEP served as the initial clinical presentation of FMF; the treatment involved oral retinoids and phototherapy. Furthermore, we highlight distinctive features of both conditions. It is important to emphasize that early diagnosis and treatment of FMF are vital for the patient's quality of life. The presence of MEP can serve as a valuable indicator for identifying it.
