  • Title: Unilesional (segmental) mycosis fungoides presenting in childhood.
    Author: Alsaleh QA, Nanda A, Baker H, Al-Sabah H, Calonje E.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 2004; 21(5):558-60. PubMed ID: 15461762.
    Abstract:
    Mycosis fungoides is rare in children, and a unilesional presentation is also rare. A 13-year-old Kuwaiti boy with unilesional mycosis fungoides is described. Clinically he had a single indurated large plaque on the left shoulder with histopathologic features typical of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The diagnosis was further supported by the presence of a T-cell clone discovered through molecular biology studies of paraffin-embedded material. No other lesions were detected. The lesion showed a favorable response to local radiotherapy.
