Abstract
- Granulomatous mycosis fungoides is a rare type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The patients with this illness do not present with distinct clinical findings, so the diagnosis depends on the demonstration of a malignant lymphoid infiltration in combination with a granulomatous tissue reaction. A 38-year-old woman presented with erythematous to purple-colored, focally atrophic, scaly plaques on the right inguinal area and diffuse erythematous scaly patches and multiple erythematous papules on the trunk. The histopathological findings showed non-necrotizing granulomatous infiltrates admixed with an atypical lymphocytic component and epidermotropism. Herein, we report a case of granulomatous mycosis fungoides.
