Psoriasis, a close differential of mycosis fungoides will respond to treatment while mycosis fungoides itself will not generally respond to the conventional therapies of psoriasis. The usage of steroids in psoriasis has always been controversial. Here we report a patient clinically diagnosed with mycosis fungoides but histopathologically made out to be psoriasis, who responded very well to intramuscular steroids.
