Objective: To highlight the importance of early recognition of hypopigmented mycosis fungoides (HMF) in cases of cutaneous hypochromia in children, with a view to an effective diagnostic and therapeutic approach.
Case Description: Two cases of HMF in children are reported. The first case involves an eight-year-old boy with hypochromic macules on the trunk and root of the upper and lower limbs, while the second case is a six-year-old boy with widespread hypochromic patches.

BACKGROUND Primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCL) are a multifaceted spectrum of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) and cutaneous B cell lymphomas (CBCL). Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare subset of CTCL that primarily affects adults, and its occurrence in children is exceedingly rare. Most pediatric MF manifests as hypopigmented patches resembling other benign dermatoses, causing diagnostic challenges.

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).
