Mycosis Fungoides Involving the Dorsal Tongue

الملخص EN

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) which can cause significant morbidity.

During the disease course, it classically will progress through three clinical stages in the skin: patch-, plaque-, and tumor-stage. The early stages exhibit various histopathological mimics that often lead to misdiagnosis. It rarely affects the oral cavity.

Oral MF is historically associated with poor prognosis.

We present a rare case of MF afflicting the dorsal tongue and extremities of a 72-year-old male.
