title: Mycosis fungoides in a lung transplant recipient with advanced ciclosporin nephropathy: management with mechlorethamine and subsequent renal transplantation.
abstract: Posttransplant cutaneous T cell lymphomas are rare and have been reported to have a poor prognosis. We report the case of a follicular mycosis fungoides in a lung transplant recipient who was successfully treated with topical mechlorethamine, prior to subsequent renal transplantation.
