A 71-year-old man presented with numerous pruritic seborrheic keratoses, with an eruptive onset over the course of 3 months. At presentation, he was also found to have hypopigmented tumors diffusely scattered throughout his body that were found to be mycosis fungoides on histologic examination. A theory regarding the pathophysiology of the development of eruptive seborrheic keratoses in the pre...

Just as mycosis fungoides is a disease with many different clinical and histologic manifestations, so too are there many inflammatory conditions that mimic this cutaneous lymphoma. Sometimes the best way to “rule out” a diagnosis of mycosis fungoides is to make a firm diagnosis of another condition. The following entities may be confused with mycosis fungoides on histologic grounds, and represe...

Melanocytic nevi represent a widespread cutaneous finding. Nevertheless, the presence of mycosis fungoides and melanocytic nevi in the same location is an extremely rare event. We report the case of a patient affected by mycosis fungoides and treated with PUVA therapy, with complete remission of the disease. Eight years after therapy discontinuation, he presented epidermal scaling and an erythe...

A patient with advanced mycosis fungoides developed neurologic and respiratory symptoms and signs following multiple courses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Various repeated diagnostic procedures--including cranial computerized tomography and fiberoptic bronchoscopy with transbronchial lung biopsy--failed to demonstrate an unusual involvement of the brain and lungs by mycosis fungoides. Radio...

Mycosis fungoides is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. There are a wide range of treatments for early-stage and advanced-stage mycosis fungoides. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a new treatment modality due to its safety and efficacy. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of PDT with methyl-aminolaevulinic acid (MAL) for the treatment of myc...

Methotrexate-induced cutaneous ulceration is a rare but potentially serious drug adverse reaction. This adverse reaction of methotrexate therapy has been initially described in psoriasis patients and is unusual in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. In 1978, Mc Donald et al reported the first three cases of cutaneous ulcerations in patients treated for a mycosis fungoides with intravenous ...

BSA: body surface area CT: computed tomography GMF: granulomatous mycosis fungoides MF: mycosis fungoides PET: positron emission tomography INTRODUCTION Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a T-cell lymphoma that originates in the skin and can spread to lymph nodes and the blood or even visceral organs in later stages of the disease. MF involvement of skeletal muscle, however, is extremely rare, having on...

Mycosis fungoides palmaris et plantaris (MFPP) is a rare variant of mycosis fungoides limited to the palms and soles. Although little is known about the pathogenesis of MFPP, this variant of mycosis fungoides presents a relatively good prognosis. In this report, we describe an 85-year-old Japanese man with MFPP. Immunohistochemical staining revealed the dense deposition of periostin in the canc...

BACKGROUND PUVA photochemotherapy is indicated to treat mycosis fungoides, either as monotherapy in the earlier stages of the disease or in combination with other drugs in more advanced stages of evolution. OBJECTIVES – To evaluate PUVA photochemotherapy response in patients with mycosis fungoides. METHODS From January 1996 to November 2003, 17 patients with a diagnosis of mycosis fungoides wer...
