[Fernando Roque, MD]

Hi.  Mycosis Fungoides is a rare type of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma which initially grows in the skin, but which can later spread to other organs and neighboring lymph nodes.  There are different treatment modalities used for Mycosis Fungoides.  Among these are: photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.  The appropriate type of treatment depends on the stage of the disease.  The best chances for cure are with those who have skin plaques involving less than 10% of their body surface area. With more extensive disease, recurrence after treatment often happens. You can look up this website which contans more detailed information about Mycosis Fungoides:
