Abstract
|
|
|
The case of a 30 year old man is described, in whom mycosis Fungoides was originating from nose and followed by tumor stage of Mycosis Fungoides on skin.
In January 1970, the patient developed nasal tumor, when he was seen at E.N.T. department of Severance Hospital. At that time a biopsy of nasal tumor demonstrated only a non-specific inflammatory cell infiltrated mass.
He received radiation therapy (Co 60) with satisfactory suppression of mass and resulted in right nasal septal deviation.
In December 1970, thumb sized painful non-tender, movable mass developed on right supraclavicular area.
In August 1971, thumb sized painful, tender, movable mass appeared at right postero-lateral aspect of neck, which was excised and removed at local clinic. But excised wound was not healed and the mass was enlarged.
One month after above lesion, pea sized same mass developed.
On physical examination, there were 4 X 5 cm round, erythematous, painful, tender, granulomatous ulceration mass on right postero-lateral aspect of neck and also same mass on postero-inferior site of above lesion.
Two times of biopsy was done and it interpreted as tumor stage of Mycosis Fungoides. Treatment included radiation therapy with Co 60 (200r/day, total 6,000r), prednisolone 40mg/day and antibiotics.
There has been good response 1 month after radiation therapy and mass is diminished in size and would begin to heal.
