Mycosis Fungoides presented with De Novo Ulceration: A Case Report
Abstract
Mycosis fungoides is the commonest cutaneous T cell lymphoma. It may be difficult to distinguish it from other dermatoses. Non responsive ulcerated plaques may be a presenting feature of mycosis fungoides. A definitive diagnosis can be made only on careful correlation of the clinical with the histopathological, immunophenotypical and molecular features. A case of mycosis fungoides who presented with de novo ulceration in plaque stage of mycosis fungoides was observed and presented which is a rare presentation.

Introduction
Most common variant of primary cutaneous T cell lymphoma is mycosis fungoides (MF), generally associated with an indolent clinical course and is characterized by well-defined clinico-pathological features.1 It typically begins as slowly progressive dermatitis like patches and plaques and when untreated evolves to nodules and eventual systemic dissemination.2
We report a case of MF who presented to us with de novo ulceration in plaque stage of MF.
Conclusion
As this type of presentation of MF cases is very rare but should not be ignored in clinical settings.
