Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides in an adolescencent
Mycosis fungoides is a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with a characteristic proliferation of small and middle-sized T-lymphocytes with cerebriform nuclei. The term “mycosis fungoides” is only applica- ble to a classic variant (Alibert-Bazin type) with element evolution from patch to plaque to tumour. Mycosis fungoides is one of the most frequent subtypes of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma comprising approximately 50% of cases.In this article we present a case-report of a rare variant of mycosis fungoides - folliculotropic my- cosis fungoides. A distinguishing feature of this particular case is an onset in adolescense, fast pro- gression of clinical manifestations and absence of positive histology for a prolonged period of time.
