Ultra-Low-Dose Radiotherapy for Palliation of Mycosis Fungoides

Abstract EN

Introduction.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a form of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, and radiotherapy (RT) has been used to treat localized/limited lesions of MF.

In this case report, the results of low-dose RT applied for palliative purpose are shared.

Case Report.

A 70-year-old male patient was admitted to the outpatient clinic 7 months ago with a generalized itchy rash.

The result of the biopsy was reported as mycosis fungoides.

Systemic treatment was not performed due to comorbid diseases.

The hemibody RT was applied.

2 Gy was given per fraction, with a total dose of 6 Gy.

The significant clinical relief was observed with 6 Gy RT.

The patient died due to multiorgan failure 2 months later, and no recurrence was observed.

Conclusion.

The palliation was achieved in the advanced MF patient with fractionated 6 Gy hemibody RT for the remaining 2 months of life.
