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 ...

ABSTRACT: In this retrospective study, the clinical and anatomopathological findings of fungal diseases in dogs cats Northeastern Brazil are described. During study period, 6,827 histopathological examinations (4,090 necropsies 2,737 biopsies) companion animals were reviewed, infections diagnosed 54 cases. Of these, 32 cases 22 dogs. Sporotrichosis was most prevalent mycosis (19/54), followed b...

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...

Dear Editor, Mycosis fungoides is the most common type of cutaneous T cell lymphoma with a reported incidence of 0.5 cases per 100,000 people per year.1 The cause of mycosis fungoides is still unknown; however genetic and environmental factors have been implicated as possible pathologic factors.2 The disease might also be associated with human T cell lymphotropic virus type 1,3 which is endemic...

The association of mycosis fungoides and a primary cutaneous CD30+ lymphoproliferative disorder has been reported and probably represents different clinical aspects of a unique T-cell monoclonal expansion. In this study, 12 patients (6 men and 6 women) presented with lymphomatoid papulosis and mycosis fungoides. A TCRgamma gene rearrangement study was performed by an automated high-resolution P...

We tested the effect of2 exposure methods and 2 environmental factors, temperature and humidity, on Beauceria bassiana (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycetes) mycosis in Hippodamia convergens Gut<;lin-Meneville (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). We found that the standard EPA bioassay method of exposing nontarget insects by immersion resulted in a per-insect dose that was 5 times greater than that from spray...

INTRODUCTION Lymphomatoid papulosis is a chronic benign disease which may be associated with malignant lymphomas. This case illustrates the relapsing and remitting nature of both lymphomatoid papulosis and its potential of developing cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy as a new modality of treatment of early-stage mycosis fungoides in these patients. ...

Background: Chemokines are a family of cytokines initially characterized by their capacity to induce chemotaxis, or directed leukocyte migrations. These receptors are activated by chemotactic cytokines called chemokines. Interactions between chemokines and chemokine receptors also are involved in tumorigenesis, migration and invasion of lymphoma cells.Methods: An English literature search...
