Article Synopsis
- - Milia en plaque (MEP) is a rare skin condition first described in 1903 and can be confused with other skin disorders such as Favre-Racouchot nodular elastosis and steatocystoma multiplex.
- - MEP can be primary (occurring on its own) or secondary (linked to other diseases) and is generally benign; it may develop after certain dermatological procedures, like cryotherapy.
- - A case study is presented where MEP indicated the first signs of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF), highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for improving patient outcomes, using treatments like oral retinoids and phototherapy.
Primary cutaneous lymphomas have different clinical behavior and prognosis than systemic lymphomas of similar histological subtype. About 30% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas involve extranodal tissues, the skin being the second most affected body organ after the gastrointestinal tract (approximately 18%). According to the EORTC (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer) classification, the lymphoma centrofollicular is indolent, since the lesions increase in size slowly over the years and spread to extracutaneous sites is uncommon.
