“…About 10% of cases of mycosis fungoides are FMF, a rare and aggressive variant that mostly affects the head and neck . 1 It is usually seen in people aged above 60 years and is not commonly seen in paediatric and juvenile population. To the best knowledge of researcher, there are very few cases of mycosis fungoides reported globally in adolescents and children.…”

Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF) is a variant of mycosis fungoides characterized by infiltration of hair follicle epithelium by neoplastic lymphoid cells. Generally, it is usually typified by indurated plaques and tumours mainly on the head and neck. However, a wide range of clinical signs have been noted. The clinical presentation of FMF may include prurigo-like lesions, acneiform lesions, cysts, nodules, areas of scarring alopecia, and hypopigmented plaques or papules with follicular prominences. The average age of diagnosis is 60 years while it is rare in childhood and adolescence. We discuss the case of a 12-year-old boy patient who had an asymptomatic, erythematous, infiltrating plaque across his left nasolabial fold for three months prior to presentation. Histological assessment of lesion showed characteristic findings of follicular mucinosis with predominance of CD4+ lymphocytes and immunohistochemical studies were positive for CD3+ stains. An increased CD4:CD8 ratio and negative CD20 was also shown. ---Continue

“…The prognosis for FMF, a relatively uncommon but aggressive form of mycosis fungoides that typically develops in old age, is worse than that of classical mycosis fungoides. 1 The average age of presentation is near to 60. 2 Early lesions are non-specific, which delays an accurate diagnosis.…”

The diagnosis of eczema (‘dermatitis’) is mostly clinical and depends on the clinical history and exploratory objective findings (primary lesions, patterns). Contact dermatitis remains as an important condition in the group of eczematous disorders, with important socioeconomic and occupational relevance. Although irritant and allergic contact dermatitis have a different pathogenesis, both are characterized by a rather typical morphology, are triggered by external factors and tend to occur primarily in the area of contact with the exogenous agent. In addition, allergic and irritant dermatitis may also co‐exist. The importance of diagnosing contact dermatitis, especially when allergic in nature, is both due to the possibility of avoiding the trigger, and due to its role in aggravating other skin conditions. Nevertheless, the heterogeneity of clinical presentations in daily practice may pose an important challenge for the suspicion and correct diagnosis of contact dermatitis. Furthermore, other conditions, with different pathogenesis and treatment, may clinically simulate contact dermatitis. The Task Force aims to conduct a review of the unifying clinical features of contact dermatitis and characterize its main clinical phenotypes, and its simulators, in order to contribute to an early suspicion or recognition of contact dermatitis and enable a correct differential diagnosis.
