Folliculotropic S ézary syndrome is a rare and unique variant of cutaneous T ‐cell lymphoma ( CTCL ) characterised by both follicular and leukaemic involvement of mycosis fungoides ( MF ). It is associated with a more aggressive clinical course and fatal outcomes. Large cell transformation ( LCT ) of mycosis fungoides/ S ézary syndrome is also associated with an aggressive disease course and shortened survival, requiring an intensive therapeutic approach. This report describes a case of folliculotropic S ézary syndrome with CD30 + LCT . Most of the larger lymphocytes in the lesions were positive for CD25 , the expression of which is associated with advanced CTCL . In addition, we review the literature on this unusual CTCL and provide evidence that this entity represents a distinct clinicopathological entity occasionally associated with extracutaneous involvement and LCT .
