title: Mycosis fungoides of the larynx: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Mycosis fungoides is a rare cutaneous lymphoma. Dissemination to extra-cutaneous sites occurs at advanced stages of disease. Laryngeal manifestations of mycosis fungoides have been reported in only 13 cases in the available literature. We present a further calla of mycosis fungoides of the larynx at the terminal stage of disease with an additional manifestation in the left maxillary sinus and review the cases published to date. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of mycosis fungoides with laryngeal and paranasal sinus manifestation. Concluding from the present case and from literature therapy should be palliative to improve quality of life.
