Abstract

Syringotropic mycosis fungoides (STMF) is an extremely rare form of cutaneous T‑cell lymphoma with 51 published cases so far. Clinically STMF is manifested similarly to folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (MF), whereby the course of STMF is much milder. Histopathologically, it shows a prominent tropism of the T‑cell lymphocytic infiltrate for the eccrine epithelium. We report the case of a 65-year-old woman with multiple small papules on the feet, shinbones and back.

Keywords: Cutaneous T‑cell lymphoma; Histology; Mycosis fungoides; Phototherapy; Syringotropism.
