Mycosis Fungoides

What is it about?

Despite being the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare disease. Rare case presentation has limited research and the clinical knowledge of physicians. Furthermore, vague dermatologic symptoms have led to frequent misdiagnosis and ill management.

Why is it important?

The goal of this book is to provide a comprehensive text that will enable the practicing physician to diagnose and stage MF as a cutaneous T-cell lymphoma upon presentation, and subsequently serve as a guide for proper treatment methods. Complete with dozens of color clinical photos to aid readers in diagnosis and treatment, this book includes TNM staging, description of the histopathology, and a step-by-step guide through the diagnosis of the disease. It is the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, generally affecting the skin, though sometimes progressing internally over time. However, there is very little comprehensive information on this subject for dermatologists, dermatopathologists, and oncologists seeking deeper insight into this lymphoma in one all-inclusive text. Clinician’s Guide to Mycosis Fungoides meets this need, covering the history, categories of disorder, molecular analysis, etiology, epidemiology, effect on body systems, disorder symptoms, and treatment. Additionally, the various recommended treatments of mycosis fungoides are explained, using clinical research and case studies as guidance in part stemming from the author’s extensive research on the topic.
