Abstract
Pilotropic mycosis fungoid (PMF) is a rare variant of mycosis fungoides (MF) with distinctive clinicopathological features, accounting for 1 to 5%. It is characterized by a broad spectrum of clinical features and has a more aggressive clinical course than conventional MF [1]. At the onset of its progression, pilotropic mycosis fongoides is sometimes difficult to distinguish from classical mycosis fongoides with follicular involvement.
