Spontaneous regression of granulomatous mycosis fungoides in an HIV positive patient - 11/09/11
Abstract |
The development of mycosis fungoides in HIV-positive patients is uncommon. We describe the granulomatous type of mycosis fungoides in an HIV-positive patient whose cutaneous lesions regressed without treatment. In addition to HIV seropositivity and mycosis fungoides, he had a long history of pulmonary sarcoidosis. Immunophenotyping of the cutaneous lymphoid infiltrates revealed a predominance of CD4 + T cells, and monoclonality was demonstrated by T-cell gene rearrangement studies. The regression of mycosis fungoides in this patient was associated with a falling peripheral blood CD4 T-cell count. (J Am Acad Dermatol 1997:37:876-80.)
