Follicular Eruption With Folliculotropic Lymphocytic Infiltrates Associated With Iatrogenic Immunosuppression: Report and Study of 3 Cases, and Review of the Literature
Conclusions:
Patients undergoing systemic immunosuppressive therapy that includes calcineurin inhibitors might develop follicular eruption with some immunophenotypical variations and a monoclonal TCR gene rearrangement but lack sufficient cytomorphological features of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides. Altering the immunosuppressive agent including calcineurin inhibitors may result in regression of the eruptions.
