Guttate parapsoriasis/digitate dermatosis (small plaque parapsoriasis) is mycosis fungoides.
Authors of most textbooks of dermatology and dermatopathology consider guttate parapsoriasis and digitate dermatosis to be variants of small plaque parapsoriasis which, they aver, is not related to mycosis fungoides. On the basis of a study of clinical and histopathologic findings in guttate parapsoriasis and digitate dermatosis, we conclude that those conditions actually represent two of the many clinical faces of mycosis fungoides.
