Zosteriform Mycosis Fungoides: A New Clinical Presentation With a Dermatomal Distribution

Am J Dermatopathol. 2017 Feb;39(2):e17-e18. doi: 10.1097/DAD.0000000000000652.

Abstract

Classic mycosis fungoides (MF) presents with patches and plaques on the trunk and proximal extremities. However, numerous clinicopathologic variants have been described, making diagnosis challenging. Here, the authors report a 21-year-old woman with immunophenotypically and molecularly confirmed MF occurring in a dermatomal distribution. Awareness of this and other rare variants of MF is critical to avoid misdiagnosis.
