title: Unusual presentation of mycosis fungoides as a lump in the scalp.
abstract: We report a case of mycosis fungoides in a 27-year-old woman who presented with a lump in the forehead. The condition was confirmed with tissue diagnosis. Gallium scintigraphy accurately delineated the complete extent of the disease, and served as a reference for objective assessment of response of the disease to treatment.
