Background: Studies comparing the clinical and prognostic differences between pediatric- and adult-onset mycosis fungoides (MF) are limited.
Objectives: To determine the impact of childhood-onset MF on clinical features and disease course in a large series.
Methods: Consecutive MF patients seen in a single centre between 2007 and 2021 were categorized into 3 groups: (i) MF patients diagnosed in the pediatric ages (≤18 years) (pediatric group), (ii) MF patients with disease onset in the pediatric period and diagnosis in adulthood (lately diagnosed pediatric-onset group), and (iii) MF patients with disease onset in the adulthood period (>18 years) (adult-onset group).

Although CD20 expression is typically scarce in mycosis fungoides (MF), it is more commonly associated with T-cell lymphomas. Nevertheless, isolated instances of CD20-positive MF have been documented infrequently. Here, we present a unique case of CD20-positive MF in a 30-year-old man who manifested with a hypopigmented patch on the anterior chest.
