Clinical images and histopathological examination of patches and plaques in a 15-year-old girl with mycosis fungoides. The overview image shows disseminated, bizarrely shaped, erythematous lesions on the back (A). Close-up images reveal more infiltrated erythematous plaques with scaling (B) and patches with epidermal atrophy, sharply demarcated borders and moderate scaling (C, D). Hematoxylin and eosin staining (E) reveals psoriasiform epidermal hyperplasia and a superficial band-like lymphocytic infiltrate. Some of the atypical lymphocytes are present within the epidermis (original magnification × 100). At higher magnification typical Pautrier microabscesses show atypical lymphocytes with hyperchromatic and irregular nuclei (F, original magnification × 630). Immunostaining shows positivity for CD3 marker in epidermotropic, intraepidermal T lymphocytes (G, original magnification × 200). [Copyright: ©2018 Estelmann et al.]
