ABSTRACT
Mycosis fungoides presenting with hypopigmented lesions is an uncommon variant, which is usually described among dark-skinned patients. We report a case of hypopigmented mycosis fungoides in an eight-year-old girl who has responded favorably to narrowband-ultraviolet B therapy. The disease mimics several benign inflammatory skin conditions, hence, a high clinical suspicion is warranted in patients presenting with widespread hypopigmentation.
