Mycosis fungoides is the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Both large-cell transformed mycosis fungoides and mycosis fungoides bullosa are rare presentations and predict unfavorable prognosis. We report the case of a 61-year-old woman who presented with generalized erythematous scaly annular plaques, and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of mycosis fungoides. She was treated w...

The association of mycosis fungoides and kaposi's sarcoma in HIV-negative patients is a rare phenomenon. The presence of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) - associated with all forms of Kaposi's sarcoma - has also been recently identified in mycosis fungoides lesions. However, a causal association between HHV-8 and the onset of mycosis fungoides has not been established yet. The present case reports ...

BACKGROUND Mycosis fungoides, the most common subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, is more common in patients aged 45-55. OBJECTIVE Cardiovascular risk factors have been investigated in several skin diseases. However, the relation between cardiovascular diseases and mycosis fungoides remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess cardiovascular risk factors in patients with ...

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of cutaneous Tcell lymphoma. The diagnosis of classic MF is based on a combination of clinical presentation, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and T-cell monoclonality detected by molecular studies. However, the diagnosis can be difficult in some cases. We report a case of hyperpigmented mycosis fungoides. A 60-year-old woman, phototype IV, pre...

Background: Mycosis fungoides is the most common type of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Its etiopathogenesis, despite numerous studies, remains unclear. Environmental, viral, and genetic factors have been proposed as its potential etiologic factors. In recent years, viral agents of herpes virus family such as human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8) have been noticed.Objective: The aim of this study wa...

Hyperpigmented mycosis fungoides is an extremely rare subtype of mycosis fungoides. It presents as multiple pigmented macules and patches without poikilodermatous changes and characterized by a CD8+ phenotype on immunohistochemistry. This report describes a typical case of hyperpigmented mycosis fungoides in a 62-year-old woman, who presented with a 7-year history of multiple hyperpigmented mac...

Mogamulizumab induces cytotoxicity against CCR4+ lymphoma cells by antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity in advanced cutaneous T-cell lymphoma patients. Since the efficacy of mogamulizumab in mycosis fungoides (28.6%) is lower than that in Sézary syndrome (47.1%), reagents that enhance the antitumor immune response induced by mogamulizumab are needed to further optimize its use for the ...

To examine risk for mycosis among persons with silicosis, we examined US mortality data for 1979-2004. Persons with silicosis were more likely to die with pulmonary mycosis than were those without pneumoconiosis or those with more common pneumoconioses. Health professionals should consider enhanced risk for mycosis for silica-exposed patients.

GMF: granulomatous mycosis fungoides INF-a: interferon alfa MF: mycosis fungoides TCR: T-cell receptor G ranulomatous mycosis fungoides (GMF) is an unusual histologic subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The diagnosis of GMF is usually established after observation of a granulomatous inflammatory reaction associated with a malignant lymphoid infiltrate. Epidermotropism, a clue to diagnosis in ...

BACKGROUND: In recent years, thanks to the development of methods molecular genetic analysis, microRNA has become one promising markers for diagnosis many human diseases.
 AIMS: study as a new method fungal mycosis.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: The included 30 patients with histologically confirmed T-cell lymphomas skin, 25 were diagnosed mycosis, 5 ― Cesari syndrome. control group consist...
