Large plaque parapsoriasis
Synopsis

Given that LPP plaques resemble patch stage MF clinically but lack the criteria for the diagnosis of mycosis fungoides histopathologically, many contemporary experts conceptualize LPP to be the same as early patch stage MF and do not employ the term LPP at all. Others, however, do continue to diagnose LPP until the full histopathologic picture of mycosis fungoides is present.
