Folliculotropic Mycosis Fungoides: Response to Bexarotene

Abstract

Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF) is a variant of mycosis fungoides characterized by the presence of folliculotropic infiltrates, often with sparing of the epidermis, and preferential involvement of the head and neck. We report a man who was initially diagnosed with eosinophilic folliculitis but had classical FMF with ulceration and improved on bexarotene.
