Background: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and its advanced-stage (MF; stage IIB to IV)) has aggressive behavior. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) has been demonstrated to correlate with progression of malignancy specially lymphoma and leukemia. The LDH level is expected to be useful clinical tool for evaluating the progression of MF. Objective: This study aimed ...

Although mycosis fungoides is the most common cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, its etiopathogenesis has not been clarified definitively and there is no standard and curative treatment method. Medical records of 57 patients diagnosed with mycosis fungoides by clinical and histopathological findings were retrospectively reviewed in our clinic. Complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, perip...

The literature regarding mycosis fungoides in children is sparse. To shed further light on the characteristics of mycosis fungoides in the paediatric population we analysed the clinicopathological features of 10 patients in whom this malignancy was diagnosed before the age of 18 years. All were Jews and Arabs with histologically proven patch/early plaque stage disease: 4 in stage IA, 4 in IB an...

Introduction: Several reports have been made associating dupilumab therapy for atopic dermatitis (AD) with the development of mycosis fungoides (MF) and other cutaneous T cell lymphomas (CTCL)

Mycosis fungoides is the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, and it rarely exhibits predilection for hair follicle and eccrine gland infiltration. Here, we present 2 similar cases that display folliculotropism with varying amounts of follicular mucinosis, with and without syringotropism. The features observed in both cases were cystic, comedo-like, acneiform lesions; generalized invo...

Ichthyosiform eruption as a specific manifestation of mycosis fungoides is very rare and only a few such cases have currently been reported in the medical literature. A 63-year-old Korean man presented with a 4-year history of a pruritic ichthyotic eruption. There was no personal or family history of ichthyosis or atopy. The ichthyosiform skin changes involved the abdomen, arms, thighs and shin...

Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides is a variant of mycosis fungoides characterized by the presence of folliculotropic infiltrates, often with sparing of the epidermis, and preferential involvement of the head and neck. We report our experience with four cases of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides followed in our department in the last years. There are four patients (three men and one woman) aged ...

Background: Erythroderma is an inflammatory disorder. It has various differential diagnoses, among which one of the most important is mycosis fungoides. Erythroderma itself can be a challenging disorder. Diagnosis of a mycosis fungoides patient presenting with erythroderma specially requires a careful assessment of the peripheral blood. Studies such as CD markers can lead to a more accura...

Mycosis fungoides is the most common form of primary cutaneous lymphoma, with three phases: erythematous, infiltrative and tumour phase. In contrast with Sézary syndrome, the course is often slow and skin lesions may not be distinctive for a longer period of time and may resemble lesions occurring in the course of other dermatoses, such as eczema, large plaque parapsoriasis, atopic dermatitis o...

AIMS AND BACKGROUND The histopathological picture of mycosis fungoides can be characterized by heavy reactive infiltrates. These are rarely composed of B lymphocytes with formation of reactive follicles. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN We collected three cases of mycosis fungoides with a reactive B-cell lymphofollicular reaction at the bottom of the epidermotropic infiltrate. RESULTS Case 1 showed...
