BACKGROUND Due to the lack of specific clinical manifestations and imaging features, the diagnosis of pulmonary mycosis is difficult. This study aimed to investigate the pathogens, clinical manifestations, imaging features, diagnosis and management of pulmonary mycosis. METHODS Data on 68 patients diagnosed as pulmonary mycosis in Xiang Ya hospital from January 2001 to December 2010 were coll...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Detection of agents responsible for cutaneous mycosis may be effective in the prevention of fungal infections from environmental and animal sources. With this background in mind, in this study, we aimed to identify the distribution of cutaneous mycotic infections in patients referred to Imam Reza Hospital of Mashhad, Iran during 2000- 2011. MATERIALS AND METHODS In tota...

Folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF) is a variant of (MF) noted in the World Health Organization — European Research and Treatment Cancer (WHO/EORTC) update 2018. FMF characterized as subtype with worse prognosis than classic MF. The situation changed recently when authorities proposed dividing into two prognostically different subtypes: indolent aggressive. Indolent allows 92% patients to s...

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...

Background Epidemiologic observations indicate that the number of systemic fungal infections has increased significantly during the past decades, however in human mycosis, mainly cutaneous infections predominate, generating major public health concerns and providing much of the impetus for current attempts to develop novel and efficient agents against cutaneous mycosis causing species. Innovati...

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...

The occurrence of the nephrotic syndrome during mycosis fungoide is very unusual. We report a rare case of mycosis fungoide revealed by hydrops related to nephrotic syndrom in a 37-year old male patient. He has been admitted to intensive care unit because of a breathing distress and a hydrophobs. Whole body computed tomography scan revealed bilateral axillary, cervical lymph nodes, tumoral infi...
