BACKGROUND Ultraviolet radiation has been used for curative purposes in dermatologic conditions, especially in the last 30 years. OBJECTIVES We analyzed the efficacy of monochromatic excimer light in psoriasis, palmoplantar pustulosis, vitiligo, mycosis fungoides and alopecia areata, and to examine potential new indications. METHODS Two hundred seventy-nine patients with common and persiste...

Primary cutaneous T- and B-cell lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of diseases with varied clinical presentations and prognosis. The use of new molecular, histological, and clinical criteria has improved their recognition. Cutaneous B-cell and T-cell lymphomas are seldom found together in the same patient. Here we report a rare case of mycosis fungoides variant of a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (...

Secondary cutaneous amyloidosis refers to clinically unapparent amyloid deposits within the skin in association with a pre-existing skin condition or skin tumors, such as basal cell carcinoma, porokeratosis, solar elastosis, Bowen's disease, and mycosis fungoides. A 70-year-old woman presented with a 6-month history of asymptomatic multiple yellowish plaques on both legs. She had been diagnosed...

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 ...
