Mycosis Fungoides (MF) is known as 'the great mimicker' due to its capacity to emulate several dermatoses, both in the clinic and on histology. This often leads to the diagnosis being missed or delayed, which consequently leads to poorer prognosis. For a timely diagnosis, it is crucial that the physician is aware of the various clinical and histological presentations of MF, as well as the proper diagnostic protocols. In the current review, we concisely encapsulate all the variants of MF as well has the conditions it mimics clinically and histologically. Through this, we aim to provide clinicians with a holistic picture of MF and help them determine when to suspect this disease and steps to take in order to nail the diagnosis.
蕈样肉芽肿（MF）因其在临床和组织学上能够模仿多种皮肤病的能力而被称为“伟大的模仿者”。这常常导致诊断被遗漏或延迟，从而导致预后更差。为了及时诊断，医生了解 MF 的各种临床和组织学表现以及正确的诊断方案至关重要。在本次综述中，我们简明扼要地总结了 MF 的所有变体以及它在临床上和组织学上模仿的疾病。通过这种方式，我们旨在为临床医生提供 MF 的全貌，并帮助他们确定何时怀疑这种疾病以及采取哪些步骤来确诊。
