Cutaneous T cell Lymphoma encompasses a spectrum of unique T cell malignancies having an affinity for the epidermis and upper dermis. Most T cell neoplasm, including T cell ALL and adult T cell lymphoma resulting from HTLV- I infection of T4 cells, have a variable propensity for cutaneous infiltration, but 2 related disorders, mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome, display such singular epidermotrophism that both -are now set apart from other T cell disorders by the generic term cutaneous T cell lymphoma.
The authors report a case of cutaneous T Cell lumphoma diagnosed by clinical, histopathological and electron microscopical examinations in a 70 year-old-female. We regard this case as a mycosis fungoides in a plaque stage.
