Related  features  include  severe  pruritus,  alopecia,  palmoplantar  hyperkeratosis,  and  bacterial  superinfectionHistologically  the  patch/plaque  stage  of  MF  is  characterized  by  an  epidermotropic  band-like  infiltrate  of  neoplastic  T  lymphocytes  with  hyperconvoluted  cerebriform  nuclei  involving  the  upper  dermis  variably  with  exocytosis  and  formation  of  intraepidermal  Pautrier's  microabscesses.  The  tumor  stage  consists  of  a  dermal  nodular  infiltrate  sparing  the  epidermis.
