Ichthyosiform mycosis fungoides: report of a case associated with IgA nephropathy.

We report a case of ichthyosiform mycosis fungoides (MF) associated with IgA nephropathy. Histological examination showed a dense atypical lymphocytic infiltrate admixed with epithelioid cells and giant cells in the dermis associated with the features of epidermotropism and folliculotropism. Reported cases of ichthyosiform MF are reviewed and histopathological characters of ichthyosiform MF are summarized. We suggest a histiocyte/dendritic-cell-rich infiltrate, or granulomatous features of infiltrate may be another characteristic of ichthyosiform MF. This case was associated with IgA nephropathy, which is uncommon. Such a presentation has never been reported in the literature.
