Updated review on prognostic factors in mycosis fungoides and new skin lymphoma trials

2021

BACKGROUND Ten-year survival rates in mycosis fungoides (MF) broadly varies, however, there is no standardized prognostic index available. This is presumably due to low prevalence, heterogeneity, and diagnostic challenges in MF. Recent studies have focused on identifying objective prognostic indices by using different parameters for survival determinants. The Cutaneous Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (CLIPI) and the Prospective Cutaneous Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (PROCLIPI) represent prototypical studies that identify prognostic factors, seeking to improve management and outcomes in early-stage MF. Detecting these factors and stratifying MF patients according to their …

Survival of Mycosis Fungoides in Patients in the Southeast of England

2004

<i>Background:</i> Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common skin lymphoma. The aetiology of MF remains unknown, and no therapy has to date significantly altered patient survival. <i>Objective:</i> The present study examines trends in survival of MF patients in a well-defined population-based disease group, namely patients registered over a 40-year period at the Thames Cancer Registry, Southeast England. <i>Methods:</i> The Thames Cancer Registry is a population-based registry, covering a population of approximately 14 million people. Data were taken from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results cancer registry programme and the National Centre for …

A Rare Presentation of Mycosis Fungoides Mimicking Psoriasis Vulgaris

2009

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is an uncommon primary cutaneous lymphoma with a wide spectrum of clinicopathological manifestations. Diagnosis can be difficult in its early stages given the considerable overlap with more common benign dermatoses. We report an unusual case of MF in a 52-year-old male presenting with psoriasiform plaques on the palms and the soles who rapidly developed additional lesions on the scalp, limps and trunk. Punch biopsy of the face was obtained for routine histology and immunohistochemical stains. Chest X-ray, total body computed tomography scanning and excisional biopsy of the inguinal lymph node were performed. Review of the face biopsy revealed a diffuse dermal infiltra…

Polarisationsoptischer Nachweis von Amyloid-Ablagerung bei Mycosis fungoides

1965

An drei klinisch uber langere Zeit beobachteten Patienten mit Mycosis fungoides wurden in verschiedenen Intervallen gewonnene Hautexcisionen mit den autoptischen Befunden histologisch verglichen. Bei den feingeweblichen Untersuchungen wurden Amyloidablagerungen besonders berucksichtigt, wobei der Amyloidnachweis mit der spezifischen polarisationsoptischen Methode am Kongorotpraparat durchgefuhrt wurde: Bei allen drei Beobachtungen konnte primares (perikollagenes) Amyloid im mykosiden Gewebe an Haut und inneren Organen nachgewiesen werden. Ein Fall zeigte dagegen zusatzlich eine sekundare (periretikulare) Ablagerungsform der Amyloidose. Die moglichen Ursachen dieser differenten Amyloidablage…

Sekund�re Gicht bei Hautkrankheiten

1967

Nach Ausfuhrungen uber Atiopathogenese und neuere Einteilung der Gicht in zwei Varietaten wird kasuistisch uber die Entwicklung einer sekundaren Gicht ohne Hautbeteiligung bei einer Mycosis fungoides sowie bei einer Psoriasis vulgaris berichtet. Anhand des Schrifttums uber Basiserkrankungen sekundarer Gicht, insbesondere dermatologischer Herkunft, wird erstmalig die Mycosis fungoides als vermutlich uberzufalliges Grundleiden fur die Entstehung einer sekundaren Gicht diskutiert.

Occupational exposure to chlorinated and petroleum solvents and mycosis fungoides.

2013

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the potential association between occupational exposure to chlorinated and petroleum solvents and mycosis fungoides (MF).METHODS: A questionnaire on lifetime job history was administered to 100 patients diagnosed with MF and 2846 controls. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated as the measure of the association between exposure to each specific solvent and MF.RESULTS: In the total sample and in men, cases and controls did not differ in relation to exposure to any of the solvents studied. In women, an association with MF was seen for the highest level of estimated exposure to perchloroethylene (OR = 11.38; 95% confidence interval: 1.04 to 124.85) and for exposure less than …
