Spinal cord compression in mycosis fungoides.
Symptomatic involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) with mycosis fungoides is rare, and usually characterized by involvement of meninges. We describe a patient with long-standing mycosis fungoides who developed acute spinal cord compression. Since tumor-related spinal cord compression requires early intervention for a successful outcome, it should be recognized as an additional form of CNS mycosis fungoides.
