FRUHES STADIUM DER MYCOSIS FUNGOIDES MIT TRANSFORMATION IN EIN KUTANES GROSSZELLIG ANAPLASTISCHES CD 30+ T-ZELL-LYMPHOM

According to the new lymphoma classification (EORTC-Cutaneous Lymphoma Study Group, 1994) primary cutaneous anaplastic large (CD30+) lymphomas have a good prognosis. However, secondary transformed lymphomas, which developed in advanced stages of Mycosis fungoides, have a poor prognosis. We report on a 75-year-old female patient suffering from erythematous-squamous skin-lesions and disseminated eczema- and psoriasis-like-plaques at the face, the head and at the back. Clinically and histopathologically a Mycosis fungoides at the early stage (pT2, N0, M0, B0, stadium IB) was diagnosed with a transformation to a cutaneous anaplastic large (CD30+) T-cell-lymphoma presented as a solitary nodule.
