Abstract:
An 82-year-old woman presented with a 5-year history of erythematous to brown patches and plaques on both legs, arms and trunk. Histopathological findings of biopsy specimens were consistent with mycosis fungoides, and the tumor cells were positive for CD3 and negative for CD20 in immunohistochemical stain. Imaging studies proposed the suspicion of ureter cancer, and the result of cystoscopic biopsy showed papillary urothelial carcinoma. Mycosis fungoides is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, characterized by variable cutaneous manifestations, including patches, plaques, tumors, and erythroderma. There were several studies concerning the evaluation of the second malignancy risk after cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, however the relationship between mycosis fungoides and ureter cancer is not revealed. This patient is considered a case of mycosis fungoides with coincidental ureter cancer.
