Abstract
Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most prevalent type of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), which is considered a great imitator due to the wide spectrum of its clinical manifestations that can mimic numerous skin disorders. MF can also resemble a wide range of dermatoses on histopathological and clinicopathological bases. The various clinical and histopathological manifestations of MF often lead to missing or delaying the diagnosis, which leads to a poorer prognosis as a consequence. In this article, we presented a comprehensive review of the clinical presentations and differential diagnoses of the clinical, histopathological, and clinicopathological variants of MF with a focus on the histopathologic manifestations of each variant.
