Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF) is a distinct variant of mycosis fungoides (MF), the most prevalent type of cutaneous T cell lymphoma. FMF accounts for approximately 10% of all MF cases and is generally characterized by distinct clinical , histopathologic and prognostic features. The studies in this thesis were aimed to address questions regarding clinical staging, disease course, suitable treatment and prognosis of subgroups of patients with FMF.
