Abstract
Acquired ichthyosis is a known paraneoplastic sign of lymphoproliferative malignancies, with histopathologic findings that are nonspecific, revealing no insinuation of the underlying neoplasm. Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a skin malignancy of T helper lymphocytes with a wide clinical spectrum. Among the atypical variants of MF, there is an ichthyosis- like presentation. However, to date, rare cases of ichthyosiform MF has been reported. We report here the clinical and histopathological features of patient with IMF.
