The article in the Clinical & Experimental Dermatology journal presents a case report of a 60-year-old male patient with mycosis fungoides (MF) exhibiting palmar and axillary nodules with syringotropism. The patient had been misdiagnosed with adult-onset atopic dermatitis for over 10 years. Histopathological examinations revealed dense cellular infiltration without epidermotropism, and Elastica van Gieson staining showed a loss of elastic fibers. The patient was diagnosed with MF T3NxM0 stage IIB and treated with medication, radiation, and therapy, leading to remission of cutaneous manifestations. The case highlights the importance of recognizing rare subtypes of MF and the significance of deep cuts in confirming syringotropism in low-grade cutaneous T-cell lymphomas.
