Dermatophytosis incognito can be missed in diagnosis, given its relatively low prevalence as compared with common cases of dermatophytosis and therefore, is likely under-reported. Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is also a rare entity with variable clinical manifestations. While successful treatment of dermatophytosis is feasible withmultiple topical and systemic antifungal options, CTCL can present a therapeutic challenge associated with significant emotional distress for the patients. We present a case of tinea incognito initially treated for eczema, later considered biopsy-supported CTCL that was successfully treated with antifungal therapy.
隐匿型皮肤癣菌病在诊断中可能会被漏诊，因为与常见的皮肤癣菌病病例相比，其发病率相对较低，因此很可能报告不足。皮肤T细胞淋巴瘤（CTCL）也是一种罕见的疾病，临床表现多样。虽然多种局部和全身抗真菌治疗方案可以成功治疗皮肤癣菌病，但CTCL可能带来治疗挑战，并给患者带来巨大的情绪困扰。我们报告一例最初被诊断为湿疹进行治疗，后来考虑为活检支持的CTCL并最终通过抗真菌治疗成功治愈的隐匿型体癣病例。
