Abstract :
It is a challenging task to diagnose mycosis fungoides (MF), a
type of primary cutaneous lymphoma, in the early stages of its
development, due to the unspecific presentations associated
with the disease. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry
conduce to a more definite diagnosis. Presence of atypical T-cells
in epidermis and upper dermis is the most significant pathologic
finding. Herein, we present an 80-year-old lady with unusual
generalized lesions resembling prurigo nodularis for 3 years,
who was finally diagnosed as a case of MF with eosinophilic
infiltrations in her lesions and serum eosinophilia.
