- Abstract
Objective: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and characterized by clonal increase of atypical T-cells in the skin showing epidermotropism. MF has many subtypes and clinical variants along with the classical Alibert-Basin type characterized by patches, plaques and tumors. Ichthyosiform MF, first defined in 1996 and considered as a rare clinical form of MF, is included in clinicopathologic spectrum of MF and is a comparatively benign form of MF which tends to be together with folliculotropic MF lesions. Ichthyosiform MF is a different condition when compared to other acquired ichthyoses associated with cutaneous lymphomas. A biopsy specimen taken from the ichthyotic area of acquired ichthyosis associated with lymphomas does not indicate a finding suggestive of lymphoma, nevertheless biopsy specimen taken from ichthyosiform MF lesions shows histological features of both MF and ichthyosis. Case report: Here, we present this case which has visited to our polyclinic with ichthyotic lesions and is diagnosed with ichthyosiform MF due to the fact that it is a rare form of MF. Conclusion: Ichthyotic eruption can be a finding of diseases which have very different features. So, it will be a convenient approach to consider MF in this clinico-pathologic evaluation.
