Abstract:
We report a case of mycosis fungoides in a 28 year-old female patient who had multiple, bizzare, kidney or annular shaped, erythematous to brownishaly patches and plaques on the trunk, buttock, upper and lower extremities. Histopathologic finclingm showed epidermotropism and Pautrir microabscess in the epidermis and sssatypical lymphocytes infiltration in the dermis. T cell marker in leukocyte common antigen were positively stained in an immunohistochemical study. The skin lesions were reproved markedly after treatment it a total dose of 45 x 10 IU recombinant interferonaiv combination with a total dose of 385 iules/art PUVA.
