Poikilodermic form of mycosis fungoides in a young patient with a good clinical response to UV therapy

Abstract

The article presents a description of the poikilodermic form of mycosis fungoides in a young patient. At the time of presentation, the skin lesion had existed for about 4 years and was slowly progressing. A skin biopsy was performed with histological examination, based on the results of which a diagnosis of lichen sclerosus was established. Subsequently, the skin process progressed, and rashes appeared that were not typical for lichen sclerosus. There was an assumption that the patient had a poikilodermic form of mycosis fungoides. The diagnosis was confirmed after performing histological and immunohistochemical studies of a skin biopsy. General narrow-band mid-wave ultraviolet therapy was performed with good clinical results.
