Indurated plaques of mycosis fungoides in a woman with fulminant hepatic failure.
Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma that may mimic, clinically and histologically, other more common entities before definitive diagnosis. We report a case of plaque-stage MF in a young woman with hepatic failure and present an overview of some of the diagnostic features and therapeutic options available for this disease.
