Pagetoid reticulosis of Woringer-Kolopp

Dermatol Online J. 2008 Jan 15;14(1):18.

Abstract

Pagetoid reticulosis of Woringer-Kolopp is a rare form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma that primarily affects middle-aged males. It is characterized by the presence of one or several scaly patches and plaques with an acral distribution. We present a case of a 58-year-old woman, otherwise healthy, with a 5-month history of asymptomatic, hyperkeratotic plaques on the hands and feet. Histological and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the diagnosis. Nearly complete spontaneous regression was noted 7 months after the initial examination. After 5 years no evidence of the disease remained.
