ABSTRACT
Granulomatous mycosis fungoides is an extremely rare and unusual histologic variant of mycosis fungoides. This form is clinically characterized by spontaneous resolution of ulcerated nodular lesions into poikiloderma. Histologically, a strong granulomatous component can obscure the underlying cutaneous lymphoma, which is frequently mistaken for non-neoplastic dermatitides or cutaneous sarcoidosis. We report a case of granulomatous mycosis fungoides occurring on the left cheek of 34-year-old man confirmed histologically with an aid of immunohistochemistry and clinical course (immediate response to PROMACE-CYTOBAM chemotherapy), with emphasis on differential diagnosis, along with a review of literature. This is the first documented report in the Korean literature.
