title: Malignant melanoma associated with mycosis fungoides.
abstract: 2 cases of malignant melanoma in 2 male patients, 68 and 63 years old, associated with mycosis fungoides and parapsoriasis en plaques, respectively, are reported. The parapsoriasis later on developed into mycosis fungoides. A pathogenetic linkage based on decreased cellular immunity in mycosis fungoides is suggested.
