Abstract
Woringer-Kolopp disease is a localized epidermotropic T cell lymphoma with good prognosis. We describe a 79-year-old man with an erythematous scaly pl aque of the foot. Clinical diagnosis of psoriasis, parapsoriasis and fungal infection were proposed Histopathological and immunohistochemical findings were characteristic of Woringer-Kolopp disease. We observed an immunohisto chemical positivity of tumour cells for the anti-CD103 antibody (alpha E be ta 7 integrin) according to the epidermotropism of this localized cutaneous T cell lymphoma.
