Dermatol Online J. 2018 Dec 15;24(12):13030/qt5w68b51q.

Abstract

Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (MF) is a distinct subset of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL). The disease is typically marked by an aggressive course and is often recalcitrant to skin-direct therapy. We report a case of an 83-year-old woman with folliculotropic MF characterized by erythematous, scaly plaques on the forehead along with poliosis and alopecia of the right medial eyebrow.
