Criterion by criterion, mycosis fungoides.
A wide variety of histologic features have been associated with mycosis fungoides. Virtually all these features can be seen at least episodically in some inflammatory conditions, and little is known regarding which histologic features are most useful in establishing a diagnosis of this challenging condition. Three recent blind histologic studies have addressed this topic, however, and their results and those of other studies are reviewed and compared herein.
