          Abstract

          Fundamento: la micosis fungoide es una neoplasia maligna originada en los linfocitos T, de curso crónico y caracterizada por lesiones que pueden ser máculas (eritematosas, hipo e hiperpigmentadas); pápulas; placas; parches, a veces poiquilodérmicos; nódulos o tumores que pueden ulcerarse y llegan ocasionalmente a la eritrodermia. Aunque es la forma más común de todos los linfomas primarios cutáneos de células T (44 %), es una enfermedad rara. Objetivo: presentar el caso clínico de un paciente con el diagnóstico de micosis fungoide. Caso clínico: paciente de 43 años de edad que desde hace tres años presenta lesiones en piel que al inicio se describieron nodulares. Estas lesiones se distribuían a nivel de genitales externos, eran eritematosas, de superficie lisa, con diámetro entre uno y dos centímetros, en número mayor de dos docenas, algunas ellas localizadas en axilas, cara, cuero cabelludo y dorso. Se encontraron además placas eritematoescamosas que presentaban bordes definidos y se distribuían de forma aislada, mientras otras confluían y formaban placas de mayor tamaño. Se realizó biopsia de las lesiones de piel con el diagnóstico de linfoma cutáneo de células T, tipo micosis fungoide en estadio tumoral. Conclusión: la micosis fungoide es una enfermedad rara, sobre todo en etapa temprana. Puede diagnosticarse erróneamente como dermatitis de contacto, psoriasis o dermatitis atópica, por lo que es importante tener en cuenta la enfermedad para su diagnóstico precoz.

          Background: mycosis fungoides is a malignant neoplasm that originates in the T-cells. It has a chronic course and it is characterized by lesions that can be maculae (erythematous, hypopigmented and hyperpigmented); papulae; plaques; patches, sometimes poikilodermic; nodules or tumors that can ulcerate and get occasionally to erythroderma. Although it is the most common among cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (44 %), it is a rare disease. Objective: to present the clinical case of a patient with the diagnosis of mycosis fungoides. Clinical case: a forty-three-year-old male patient who had presented lesions in the skin for three years. Initially, the lesions were described as nodular. These lesions were distributed at the level of the external genitals, in higher number than two dozens and were erythematous, flat and one to two centimeters in diameter. Some of the lesions were in the axillae, face, scalp and dorsum. Erythematous, scaly plaques were found presenting well-defined edges. Some of the plaques were distributed isolated, while others joined to form bigger plaques. A biopsy of the skin lesions was made and proved positive for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, type mycosis fungoides in tumoral stage. Conclusion: mycosis fungoides is a rare disease, mainly in the initial stage. It can be wrongly diagnosed as contact dermatitis, psoriasis or atopic dermatitis; that is why it is important to take into account the disease to early diagnose it.

          Corneal perforation due to limbal involvement in Sézary syndrome.

          The majority of lymphomas involving the eye and ocular adnexa are B-cell lymphomas. Ocular involvement by T-cell lymphoma is rare. We report a case of corneal perforation due to direct involvement of the corneal limbus by lymphoma in a patient with Sézary syndrome.
