Papular xanthomas in untreated folliculotropic mycosis fungoides: a case report and literature review

Abstract

Following a recent report of xanthomas arising in a patient treated with etoposide for mycosis fungoides (MF), we present a similar patient with xanthomas and MF, who had not received any treatment. Further studies are needed to elucidate the origin and pathophysiology of normocholesterolaemic xanthomas associated with MF.
