Mycosis fungoides cells in sputum. A case report.
Atypical lymphoid cells were identified in the sputum of a patient known to have mycosis fungoides. Although the lungs are the second most common organ to be affected when there is extracutaneous dissemination of mycosis fungoides, this is the first report of pulmonary involvement diagnosed by the cytologic identification of "mycosis cells" in the sputum.
