Abstract
The aim of the article titled, Mycosis Fungoides Palmaris et Plantaris, is to alert clinicians that mycosis fungoides (MF) may be limited to palms and soles, and MF should be a diagnostic consideration in recalcitrant palmoplantar dermatitides. Our reasons to include cases of Woringer-Kolopp disease (WKD) as a variant of MF are stated in the Comment section of the article and provide justification for including cases of WKD that involve the palms or soles as part of our series of mycosis fungoides palmaris et plantaris. Although Dr Smoller objects to the inclusion in our series of his and other cases of WKD in which the neoplastic T cells express the CD8 + phenotype, we question whether the immunophenotype of the neoplastic cell per se is sufficient reason to define WKD as a distinct entity. It has been shown that CD8 expression occurs in about 5% of the cases diagnosed as MF
