Case ReportsDiffuse, progressive hyperpigmentation: an unusual skin manifestation of mycosis fungoides.
Pigmentary changes in mycosis fungoides usually occur in association with poikiloderma atrophicans vasculare or following therapy and regression of lesions. Several cases of hypopigmented mycosis fungoides have also been reported. ⋯ Giant melanin granules were found in the tumor cells, as well as in keratinocytes and Langerhans cells. As far as we know, this is the first report of cutaneous hyperpigmentation as a single presenting sign of mycosis fungoides.

A 36-year-old man developed unilateral facial telangiectases over a 10-year period. Histopathologic examination showed collections of mast cells. ⋯ The differential diagnosis of facial telangiectases is discussed. Mastocytosis should be considered in patients presenting solely with telangiectases.
