Abstract

A clinical case with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma in a child is described. Mycosis fungoides rarely emerges in childhood; the disease is diagnosed before the age of 20 years in 0.5-5% of all cases. Despite the common clinical characteristics of T-cell lymphomas in adults and children, this disease is difficult to diagnose in children, as its manifestations are taken for atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, lichen pityriasis versicolor, and other dermatosis often diagnosed in children.
