ABSTRACT
Introduction. The mycosis fungoides is a cutaneos T-cell lymphoma, the most comun of this lymphomas.
Clinical case. Male of 69 years old, seven months with erythematous patch in the thorax, plaques in the dorsal region, tumor in left shoulder and right groin.
Histopathologic result. Diffuse Lymphoma No Hodgkin. The treatment is beginning with CHOP chemotherapy. Later, the patient with CNS infiltrate signs, without outcome to rescue chemotherapy, the patient died for involved in CNS.
Discussion. The mycosis fungoides staging decree the treatment and prognosis. The treatment can be categorized into topical and systemic, however, the mycosis fungoides is not curable.
Conclusion. The clinical staging is very important, because the predictive factors stablemen the more optimal treatment. In our center the more usual treatment is the chemotherapy, however the mycosis fungoides have high mortality.
