Abstract

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of primary non-Hodgkin cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and typically presents with a patch or plaque lesion with variable progression to tumors and extracutaneous involvement. Epidemiological studies have indicated that patients with MF are at a high risk for the development of secondary lymphomas.
