Syringotropic Mycosis Fungoides: A Variant of Folliculotropic Mycosis Fungoides or a Distinct Entity?

Abstract: Syringotropic mycosis fungoides (MF) is classified under folliculotropic MF. Although there is significant overlap between the 2, this study demonstrates that folliculotropism is frequently present in syringotropic MF, and when not present, the specimen did not include a follicle to examine. In addition, few of the pathology reports mentioned folliculotropism or syringotropism, although this is an important prognostic feature.
