Mycosis fungoides (MF) palmaris and plantaris is a rare form of MF. Only few cases are reported in the literature. Different forms are described: eczematous lesions, dyshidrosis lesions, verrucous lesions, dry pulpitis, ulcerated lesions, pustulosis, and hyperkeratotic lesions. Histology is typical for MF with a positive T-cell receptor gene rearrangement in majority of cases. Prognosis is good.
