Abstract
- We describe a case of mycosis fungoides (infiltrative plaque type) in an 86-year-old male. He had experienced dark erythematous round plaques on the face, trunk, buttock, upper and lower extremities. Histopathologic findings revealed band-like superficial dermal infiltration of atypical lymphocytes, epidermotropism, and Pautrier's microabscess in the epidermis. The infiltrative cells were positivly stained with CD3, but not with a CD20. He was treated with a topical application of 0.2% carmustine, but he died due to poor general condition and septicemia.
