    <abstract locale="en_US">Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell&#xA0;lymphoma, which often appears in the form of patches, plaques, and tumors as&#xA0;originally described by Alibert and Bazin. The manifestation of MF as annular&#xA0;lesions is uncommon, and herein we report one of those cases. A 54-year-old&#xA0;woman complaining of itchy skin lesions from three years before, came to our&#xA0;clinic with no response to topical steroids. In skin examination, there were&#xA0;annular lesions with erythematous slightly raised borders, and some scattered&#xA0;erythematous thin plaques in trunk and extremities with a predilection to lower&#xA0;extremities. Epidermal and poikilodermic changes were not evident. There&#xA0;were no lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. Biopsies were obtained&#xA0;from three different lesions and the diagnosis of all samples was consistent&#xA0;with MF. A diagnosis of stage 1B of MF was made and the patient went under&#xA0;oral psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA) therapy. MF has different clinical&#xA0;manifestations that can be confused with other inflammatory dermatological&#xA0;disorders. Until now, less than 10 cases of MF with annular lesions have been&#xA0;reported in the English literatures, and most of them initially were under&#xA0;treatment with other differential diagnosis of annular lesion than MF</abstract>
