The clinical manifestations of mycosis fungoides are complex and variable. In this article, we reported one rare case of mycosis fungoides mimicking tinea corporis. The patient was admitted to our department because of rash and pruritus involved with the trunk and limbs for more than 3 years. Physical examination revealed the signs of extensive rash, characterized by annular erythematous scaly patches with raised borders, which was similar to tinea corporis. The patient was diagnosed with mycosis fungoides by skin histopathological examination, immunohistochemistry, and T cell receptor gene rearrangement. After two-month treatment of glucocorticoid, cyclosporine and topical drugs, the rash was significantly relieved. This case prompts that it is likely to miss the diagnosis and misdiagnose the mycosis fungoides due to diverse manifestations. The diagnosis should be confirmed by repeated skin pathological examination, immunohistochemical staining and T cell receptor gene rearrangement should be performed.
