conclusions fmf should be considered in patients who present with alopecia, acne like lesions, cysts and comedones in older ages with a spectrum of histologic changes. we emphasize for any time it should be under-recognized. introduction folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (fmf) is a variant of mycosis fungoides characterized by the presence of folliculotropic atypical tcells infiltrates, often w...

Mycosis fungoides is the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and it rarely exhibits predilection for hair follicle and eccrine gland infiltration. Here, we present 2 similar cases that display folliculotropism with varying amounts of follicular mucinosis, with and without syringotropism. The features observed in both cases were cystic, comedo-like, acneiform lesions; generalized invo...

Allelic loss was identified in 10 samples, all of which were from the 44 patients with mycosis fungoides (1...
