Folliculotropic Mycosis Fungoides

Mycosis Fungoides-Associated Follicular Mucinosis

Similar presentations have been described as a verrucous and hyperplastic variant of mycosis fungoides due to the presence of prominent epidermal hyperplasia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Thyroid Nodule

    Investigations were within normal apart from thyroid nodule, enlarged cervical and axillary lymph nodes by ultrasound with distorted shape and lost hilum. [pulsus.com]

  • Ptosis

    In clinic the visual acuities were 6/9 OD and 6/9 OS aided and the lids showed bilateral upper lid dermatochalasis worse on the right, with a mechanical ptosis ( Figure 1a ). The facial and lid skin was generally red and thickened. [nature.com]

  • Thin Eyebrows

    Note bilateral dermatochalasis, thinned eyebrows, reddish, rugged skin on forehead and slight thickening of the right upper eyelid compared to the left. [nature.com]

  • Honey-Colored Crust

    The term extensive secondary bacterial infection was used for patients with widespread honey-colored crusted lesions at first presentation ( Figure 1 D). All statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS statistical software (IBM Corp). [jamanetwork.com]

  • Thrombocytosis

    Three patients had a coexistent hematological disorder: 1 patient had B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia, 1 patient had myelodysplastic syndrome, and 1 patient had essential thrombocytosis. [jamanetwork.com]

  • Multiple Ulcerations

    We report a case of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF) presenting with multiple ulcerative nodular lesions and persistent eosinophilia. Severe facial lesions resulted in a leonine appearance. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Liver Biopsy

    Diagnosis of AIH was established based on the liver biopsy (highly active autoimmune hepatitis) and the exclusion of viral etiology, drug-induced hepatotoxicity, and inherited metabolic disorders of the liver. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (MF) is an uncommon subtype of MF which has a more aggressive natural history and is more resistant to treatment than other forms of MF. In this article, an innovative method of treatment is presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The prognosis of folliculotropic MF is best estimated using the TNM staging criteria. Many clinicians feel that this variant of MF portends a worse prognosis; however, there are no studies to support this idea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is still an unclear progressive liver disease of unknown etiology which features hypergammaglobulinemia, detectable autoantibodies, and interface hepatitis (5). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology The etiology remains unknown. Diagnostic methods The diagnosis is based on clinical presentation and should be confirmed by a skin biopsy. [orpha.net]

When lesions that share an etiologic factor are classified on the basis of histologic findings, the diagnosis is usually superficial EAC, as the deep form is rare. In keeping with 3 318 J.J. [healthdocbox.com]

Summary Epidemiology The annual incidence of MF and its variants is estimated at between 1/350,000 and 1/110,000, with folliculotropic MF accounting for about 5% of MF cases. Males are more frequently affected than females. [orpha.net]
