title: Mycosis fungoides with central nervous system involvement--a case report: T-cell lymphoma of the brain.
abstract: Mycosis fungoides is a rare malignant T-cell lymphoma, involving mainly the skin. It can, in 50%-75% of cases, involve visceral organs and, in 11%-14% of cases, metastasize to the central nervous system. The prognosis is poor. A case with cerebral involvement is presented and the relevant literature reviewed.
