Mycosis Fungoides is the most common cutaneous T-cell lymphoma however, it is rare in children. We present the case of a Folliculotropic Mycosis Fungoides in a 13-year-old boy which initially presented as a plaque on his face and was treated with local PUVA therapy. Afterwards the lesions spread so the treatment was changed to systemic PUVA with good response. Although the experience in the treatment of Mycosis Fungoides in pediatric patients is limited, PUVA therapy seems to be an effective and safe option.
Chronic urticaria (CU) is a common disease defined by itchy wheals, with or without angioedema, lasting >6 weeks. In chronic spontaneous CU (CSU), hives and angioedema occur with or without a clear etiology, whereas in chronic inducible urticaria (CIU), urticarial symptoms are triggered by specific stimuli. The prevalence of CU in children is about 0.1%-0.3%, somewhat lower than in adults, in whom prevalence is 0.5%-1%, and most cases occur in children between 6 and 11 years of age. 1,2 CU in children has a better prognosis with earlier self-resolution as compared to adults. 3 It has been shown that one-third and one-half of children with CSU
