Mycosis fungoides as an ichthyosiform eruption.
Ichthyosiform eruption as a specific manifestation of mycosis fungoides is very rare and only a few such cases have currently been reported in the medical literature. A 63-year-old Korean man presented with a 4-year history of a pruritic ichthyotic eruption. There was no personal or family history of ichthyosis or atopy. The ichthyosiform skin changes involved the abdomen, arms, thighs and shins. The face, palms and soles were spared. There was no peripheral lymphadenopathy or organomegaly. The typical lesions of mycosis fungoides were not present. The results of the routine investigations were normal or negative. A skin biopsy specimen revealed the findings of early mycosis fungoides. He was successfully treated with photochemotherapy.
