Unilesional mycosis fungoides localized on the right axilla

Unilesional mycosis fungoides treated with photodynamic therapy. A case report.

It is characterized by the expansion of CD4+ and CDw29+ immunophenotype T-cell clones lacking normal antigens. These altered T-lymphocytes are predominantly located in the skin, but some of them retain their ability to migrate and exit the skin through t...

Mycosis fungoides: the great imitator.

A considerable number of reports have documented mycosis fungoides (MF) mimicking other dermatoses, but a comprehensive review has not been published. Our aim was to comprehensively review reports of various dermatoses simulated by MF. Additionally, 2 cases in which MF simulated diseases not previously documented (psoriasis and erythema annulare centrifugum) are presented. A literature search o...

The most common cutaneous lymphoma is known historically as mycosis fungoides (MF), and represents about 50-60% of all cutaneous lymphomas. The broader term “cutaneous T-cell lymphoma” has also been applied to mycosis fungoides and related conditions such as Sezary syndrome, but it is important to recognize that there are several forms of T-cell lymphoma in the skin unrelated to mycosis fungoid...
