1/514. Pigmented purpura-like eruption as cutaneous sign of mycosis fungoides with autoimmune purpura.We describe the clinical and laboratory findings of a young man with mycosis fungoides. The disease was associated, since the early stages, with autoimmune purpura. Interferon alfa (IFN-alpha) administration improved this patient's condition, both the purpuric eruption and patchy cutaneous lesions, thus suggesting T-cell abnormalities may be responsible for the development of the disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mycosis fungoides, fungoides, mycosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |

3/514. Multinucleate-cell angiohistiocytoma occurring in a patient with mycosis fungoides.Multinucleate-cell angiohistiocytoma (MCAH) is a benign vascular proliferation of unknown etiology. Clinically, MCAH presents as grouped, erythematous, or violaceous papules on the extremities in older women. These lesions often resemble Kaposi's sarcoma. Histologic examination reveals characteristic bizarre-shaped, multinucleate giant cells, some of which contain three to six nuclei arranged in a ring-like or overlapping pattern, which stain positively for factor xiiia. In addition, there is a proliferation of dermal capillaries and venules with a mild lymphohistiocytic infiltrate. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of MCAH occurring in a patient with mycosis fungoides.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mycosis fungoides, fungoides, mycosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/514. Allergic contact dermatitis from transdermal clonidine in a patient with mycosis fungoides.Although therapy with transdermal clonidine is considered an effective method of hypertension control, this mode of delivery has been associated with localized dermal reactions in numerous patients. We present a patient with coexistent mycosis fungoides and allergic contact dermatitis from transdermal clonidine. The association of these two dermatologic processes has not been previously reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.44963856246967keywords = mycosis fungoides, fungoides, mycosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/514. Lymphomatoid contact dermatitis: a syndrome produced by epicutaneous hypersensitivity with clinical features and a histopathologic picture similar to that of mycosis fungoides.Four cases have been studied which were clinically suggestive of mycosis fungoides because of their infiltrated plaque-like lesions, but in which the suspicion of a topical hypersensitivity arose when a positive patch test was obtained with the striker part of a box of matches.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mycosis fungoides, fungoides, mycosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/514. Pilotropic mycosis fungoides presenting with multiple cysts, comedones and alopecia.We report a 45-year-old man with mycosis fungoides (MF) who presented with multiple epidermoid cysts, comedones and alopecia and who responded to treatment with intravenous and oral cyclophosphamide. The pilotropic variant of MF, characterized histologically by follicular lesions and pilotropism without mucinosis, is uncommon and often resistant to treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mycosis fungoides, fungoides, mycosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/514. Granulomatous mycosis fungoides: report of a case with some histopathologic features of granulomatous slack skin.We describe a case of granulomatous mycosis fungoides, tumor stage, mimicking sarcoidosis in an 82-year-old man with a 2-year history of skin disease. The final diagnosis was established after one of seven biopsy specimens showed a nongranulomatous histologic picture of patch-stage mycosis fungoides. Monoclonality was proven for the lymphocytic population by T-cell-receptor rearrangement studies. The unusually extensive granulomatous inflammation with huge giant cells surrounded by CD1a-positive cells in the other six biopsy specimens was suggestive of the histopathology of granulomatous slack skin, another rare granulomatous cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Because both a clinical and histologic overlap between granulomatous mycosis fungoides and granulomatous slack skin have been reported in the literature, we conclude that they may belong to the spectrum of a single disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = mycosis fungoides, fungoides, mycosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/514. Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and human immunodeficiency virus infection: 2 cases and a review of the literature.Cutaneous non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are rare in patients with hiv-1 infection and almost all of the cases reported are of T-cell lineage with histopathological features of mycosis fungoides or sezary syndrome. We studied 2 cases of mycosis fungoides in hiv-1-positive patients who were intravenous drug abusers and were in stage II and IV C2 (CDC'86), respectively. The first patient (stage II) had multiple, erythematous and infiltrated large plaques on the abdomen, back, arms and legs, whereas the second patient (stage IV) had smaller erythematous, slightly scaly and infiltrated pruritic plaques on the trunk and limbs. Their CD4 lymphocyte counts were 634 and 250 cells/mm3, respectively. Biopsies showed features consistent with mycosis fungoides, with an epidermotropic pattern. The immunohistochemical study revealed a T-cell lineage of this atypical infiltrate. Both patients partially responded to topical steroid ointment, showing moderate improvement. Further biopsies performed 6 months later confirmed the prior diagnosis of mycosis fungoides. No tumour stage was observed during a 2-year follow-up. We conclude that mycosis fungoides is rare in HIV-positive patients, but must be included in the differential diagnosis of erythematous plaques in these patients. In suspected, but non-diagnostic cases of mycosis fungoides in HIV-positive patients, only a close clinical and histopathological follow-up can confirm the diagnosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = mycosis fungoides, fungoides, mycosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/514. mycosis fungoides masquerading as an ischemic foot.This case is of a man with bilateral lower-extremity ischemia and a solitary nonhealing ulcerated lesion of the right great toe. After revascularization with an aortobifemoral bypass, his right ABI increased from 0.5 to approximately 0.75, but the ulcerated toe lesion did not show signs of healing and instead progressed to a deeper ulceration exposing bone. Because of presumptive osteomyelitis, we performed a great toe amputation, and immunohistochemical analysis of the lesion revealed late plaque stage mycosis fungoides (MF). We present this case to alert the vascular surgeon to this diagnostic possibility when confronted with an apparent ischemic lesion and to describe what made this particular lesion suspicious for MF. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of MF presenting solely as an ischemic lesion.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.37994832903686keywords = mycosis fungoides, fungoides, mycosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/514. Systemic sarcoidosis and cutaneous lymphoma: is the association fortuitous?The association of systemic sarcoidosis and malignant lymphoma is known as the 'sarcoidosis-lymphoma syndrome'. Cutaneous involvement is rare in this syndrome. We report a 52-year-old woman who was diagnosed as having tumour-stage mycosis fungoides. Complete remission was achieved by combination therapy consisting of isotretinoin, interferon (IFN) alpha, electron beam irradiation, photochemotherapy and topical corticosteroids. Three years later, the patient developed systemic sarcoidosis characterized by yellowish papules on the abdominal wall and the eyelids that histologically revealed non-caseating granulomas, multiple fine-nodular interstitial pulmonary infiltrates on chest X-ray, hilar lymphadenopathy, decreased vital capacity and increased lymphocyte count in bronchoalveloar lavage fluid. As opposed to most of the reported cases, in our patient the manifestation of cutaneous lymphoma preceded the diagnosis of systemic sarcoidosis. We review the cases reported in the literature and discuss a possible causal and temporal relationship as well as the role of IFN alpha in the development of sarcoidosis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = mycosis fungoides, fungoides, mycosis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
