Abstract
- Mycosis fungoides is cutaneous T-cell proliferative lymphatic disease and makes up the Sezary syndrome in case of the aggressive systemic lymphoma. This disease is 2.2 times more common in man than woman and the etiology remains unknown. It is difficult to diagnose accurately from severe inflammation in early stage although it can be diagnosed through the clinical findings and histopathological findings. We experienced a 64-year-old male patient who assumed mycosis fungoides and had an eczema like mass in scalp of skin. In this case, we diagnosed this case as mycosis fungoides through observation of the atypical lymphocytes infiltration in the dermis and microabscess in the basal layer of the skin histopathologically.
