A 46-year-old man presented with circumscribed inflammatory poikilodermatic lesions of loose skin on the upper arm. Histologic examination disclosed a heavy lymphocytic infiltrate of the whole dermis and the upper part of the subcutaneous fat tissue with a predominant T-helper phenotype and about 10% of Mac 387-positive macrophages and some scattered multinucleated giant cells. Lymphocytic cells were aligned along the epidermal basement membrane and showed focal epidermotropism. In part these cells had multilobular nuclei. The diagnosis of granulomatous mycosis fungoides versus early granulomatous slack skin was made. The patient was treated with a combination of radiotherapy (total dose 36 Gy) and interferon-alpha as a maintenance treatment which resulted in complete remission and disease-free survival of 27 months up to now.
