Multiple biopsies for histopathologic and immunohistochemical examination are required to diagnose MF. Dermoscopy is an affordable, non-invasive device with expanding indi-cations in dermatology,\nObjectives: To investigate the dermoscopic morphology of MF variants and assess the correlation between dermoscopic criteria, histopathologic, and immunohistochemical findings,\nMethods: We included 88 patients with several MF variants (classic, hypopigmented, hyperpigment-ed, poikilodermatous, erythrodermic, and folliculotropic).The diagnosis was histopathologically and immunohistochemically confirmed. Dermoscopic findings were collected, statistically analyzed, and correlated with the results of histopathology and immunohistochemistry,\nResults: All patients had MF diagnosis in H&amp;E-stained sections.The majority revealed positive stain-ing with CD3, 4, 8 and negative CD7. Orange-red areas of discoloration, short linear, and spermato-zoa like blood vessels are the most frequent dermoscopic findings, while an analysis per MF variant was also performed.The frequently observed dermoscopic structures in classic MF were patchy whit-ish scales, dotted, short linear vessels, and spermatozoa-like vessels,\nConclusions: Dermoscopy reveals a repetitive dermoscopic pattern in MF (non-homogenous pink to erythematous background, patchy areas of orange discoloration, patchy whitish scales, dotted and short linear blood vessels with some variations according to the clinical variant.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5826\/dpc.1304a284","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,31]],"date-time":"2023-10-31T14:13:55Z","timestamp":1698761635000},"page":"e2023284","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Dermoscopy in the Diagnosis of Mycosis Fungoides: Can it Help?"],"prefix":"10.5826","author":[{"given":"Sarah","family":"Soliman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wafaa","family":"Mohammad Ramadan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amal","family":"Ahmed Elashmawy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sameh","family":"Sarsik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aimilios","family":"Lallas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"27750","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,31]]},"container-title":["Dermatology Practical &amp; Conceptual"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/dpcj.org\/index.php\/dpc\/article\/download\/3408\/2391","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/dpcj.org\/index.php\/dpc\/article\/download\/3408\/2391","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,31]],"date-time":"2023-10-31T14:13:55Z","timestamp":1698761635000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/dpcj.org\/index.php\/dpc\/article\/view\/3408"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,31]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5826\/dpc.1304a284","relation":{},"ISSN":["2160-9381"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2160-9381","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,31]]}}}
