Field:	Dermatology

Pagetoid reticulosis (also known as "acral mycoses fungoides", "localized epidermotropic reticulosis", "mycosis fungoides palmaris et plantaris", "unilesional mycosis fungoides",^[1] and "Woringer–Kolopp disease") is a cutaneous condition, an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder, sometimes considered a form of mycosis fungoides.^[2]

Symptoms and signs

Lesions emerge as well-demarcated psoriasiform or hyperkeratotic patches and plaques, with a central clearing and an elevated border.^[3] Pagetoid reticulosis is a very slow progressive variant of mycosis fungoides and is usually localized unlike the latter.^[4]

Treatment

The most common method of treatment includes radiotherapy and/or surgical excision.^[5]
