Mycosis fungoides and Hodgkin's disease occurring in the same patient: report of three cases.
The patients with the typical clinical course and pathology of Mycosis Fungoides (MF) were found also to have Hodgkin's Disease (HD), nodular sclerosing type. In two cases, HD was diagnosed 2 years after the diagnosis of MF; in the third case, both diseases were diagnosed simultaneously. Previous claims of MF transforming into second lymphomas are reviewed. The possible significance of our observed association of MF and HD is discussed.
