Abstract:
Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma with a usually indolent course. Early detection is crucial for effective intervention. We present a case of a 40-year-old male with MF exhibiting blistering as a rare precursor symptom. Despite initial treatment for eczema, the condition worsened over 10 months, leading to erythema, edema, and enlarged lymph nodes. Laboratory and imaging findings confirmed the diagnosis of MF. The patient responded partially to cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin/prednisone in combination with brentuximab vedotin (A-CHP) therapy. This case highlights the significance of recognizing blistering as a prodromal symptom for early detection and management of MF.
