Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides
Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (follicular, pilotropic MF) is a WHO-EORTC-recognized variant of mycosis fungoides in which T cells infiltrate hair follicles, sparing the epidermis, favoring head and neck, with follicular mucinosis, eyebrow plaques, alopecia, and stage-dependent survival.

Localized pagetoid reticulosis
Localized pagetoid reticulosis, or Woringer-Kolopp disease, is a rare indolent variant of mycosis fungoides: a solitary hyperkeratotic or psoriasiform plaque, usually on one extremity, treated with radiotherapy or excision, with no reported disease-related deaths.
