Summary A 58‐year‐old white woman presented with widespread pruritic brownish plaques and hyperpigmented flexural lesions with a velvety appearance. On histopathological examination, the macules were diagnostic of mycosis fungoides, plaque stage, and the flexural lesions showed epidermal hyperplasia with a seborrhoeic keratosis‐like appearance. There was intense mucin deposition and marked reduction of elastic fibres in the papillary dermis, as well as a moderately dense dermal lymphoid infiltrate composed of GD4 + T cells with occasional atypia and focal epidermotropism.
