[Epidermotropic reticulosis (Woringer-Kolopp disease)]

The Woringer-Kolopp's disease must be considered a clinical-pathologic variant of mycosis fungoides. It is characterized by heterogenous clinical features and a peculiar histological aspect given by the cellular infiltration of the epidermis. The orgin of the reticular elements is discussed. Though some investigators think they originate in the dermis, others consider their origin to be "in situ". The evolution and prognosis are not well defined, as is the case with the hyperplastic, heteromorphic and polymorphic reticuloses. The case presented has had Hodgkin's disease and then developed a picture of pagetoid reticulosis.
