Abstract
Poikilodermatous mycosis fungoides is one of the rare clinical variant of mycosis fungoides with clinical features of poikiloderma.
The variability of atypical and subtle clinical features of mycosis fungoides may delay the diagnosis. Therefore high index of suspicion and familiarity with atypical variants is helpful for early diagnosis and treatment.
We hereby report a typical case of 65 years old male presented with asymptomatic, mottled hyper and hypo-pigmentation of skin with interspread telangiectases and areas of atrophy on the trunk and extremities since 10 years. Based on the clinical manifestations and histological findings, the diagnosis of poikilodermatous mycosis fungoides was made.
