Skin biopsy revealed few atypical cells (small/medium-sized, cerebriform nuclei with halo) confined to epidermis with epidermotropism. Immunohistochemistry showed CD3, CD4, CD5 and CD8 positivity. The patient was managed with topical steroids, oral methotrexate and phototherapy, and she is on regular follow up. As the disease has an indolent clinical course, long term follow up is necessary.</span></p> ER -
