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...

Parapsoriasis en plaque has been suggested to be an early manifestation of mycosis fungoides (cutaneous T-cell lymphoma). We explored the disease course of patients with small plaque or large plaque parapsoriasis in a 26-year retrospective cohort analysis of 105 parapsoriasis patients, who were clinically and histopathologically followed up in Helsinki and Tampere University Hospitals. Eventual...

In this case we report the detection of lymph node metastases in a 52 years old patient with mycosis fungoides utilising 18F- FDG-PET/CT which led to a change in the management of the patient.
