We present a new concept on the nosology of parapsoriasis lichenoides (= parakeratosis variegata) and show that this parapsoriasis type is not a separate entity. It represents different diseases: a large number of cases presenting as reticular parapsoriasis are mycosis fungoides, another group represents reticular variants of the parapsoriasis guttata group (pityriasis lichenoides acuta et chronica). Further, cases exist that can be classified as lichen planus reticularis or other diseases (e. g. keratosis lichenoides).

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a neoplasm of the immune system. It is a cutaneous lymphoma originating in the peripheral epidermotropic T-cells, specifically the memory T-cells (CD45RO+). The etiology of MF is indefinite, but various factors, such as genetic and epigenetic abnormalities, environmental and occupational exposure to chemicals, infections, and cytokines (interleukin [IL]-2, IL-4, etc.

Article Synopsis
- Atopic dermatitis (AD) and mycosis fungoides (MF) can be difficult to distinguish because they exhibit similar symptoms like inflamed and itchy skin lesions.
- A case study of a 19-year-old male with a past AD history highlights the diagnostic confusion when he developed atypical eczema-like lesions that required advanced testing to confirm MF after initial misdiagnosis.
- The case underscores the importance of accurate and early diagnosis to differentiate between AD and MF, as MF requires specific treatments, and it encourages further research into shared mechanisms for improved patient care.
Introduction: Lymphocytic esophagitis (LyE) is a rare esophageal disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by dense peripapillary lymphocytes without neutrophils or eosinophils, and spongiosis. Patients typically present with symptoms such as dysphagia or chest pain. Here, we describe a notable case of lymphocytic esophagitis in a patient who presented with food impaction.
