Mycosis fungoides-type cutaneous T-cell lymphoma arising before 30 years of age

Clinical and histopathologic spectrum of alopecia mucinosa/follicular mucinosis and its natural history in children

“…In a series of 9 patients with MF, Burns et al 12 identified two patients, aged 9 and 15 years, in whom AM appeared before onset of MF. 12 In one of our patients AM/FM preceded development of HL. Such an occurrence has been occasionally reported.…”

“…[12][13][14][15][16][17]26 17 Series of folliculotropic MF associated with FM occasionally include adolescents: one of 49 patients reported by van Doom et al, 20 and two of 45 patients reported by B€ oer et al 7 There are a few pediatric cases where AM/FM preceded MF. Hess Schmid et al 27 described a 12-year-old boy with multiple patches of scalp alopecia diagnosed histopathologically as FM, followed 2 years later by the appearance of plaques and tumors on the neck and upper aspect of arms associated with marked lymphadenopathy.…”

“…[12][13][14][15][16][17] The histopathologic finding of FM may be found in various benign or malignant diseases. 1,5 It may occur secondary to spongiotic dermatitis, arthropod bites, alopecia areata, lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis, hypertrophic lichen planus, lichen striatus, photo-induced eruptions, melanocytic nevi, familial reticuloendotheliosis, Goodpasture syndrome, and angiolymphoid hyperplasia.…”

CD8‐positive juvenile onset mycosis fungoides: an immunohistochemical and genotypic analysis of six cases

“…Previous studies have analysed the immunophenotype of juvenile patients and identified similar features to those presenting in adults. 10 …”

Follicular Mucinosis

“…Moreover, although mycosis fungoides is predominantly a disease of elderly patients, several cases have been reported in children, with or without FM. [48][49][50][51][52] Thus, it is not possible to exclude a diagnosis of mycosis fungoides solely on the basis of the age of the patient.…”
