Longterm remission of tumor-stage mycosis fungoides following total-skin electron-beam radiotherapy.

We report the case of a patient with mycosis fungoides, stage II B with generalized plaques and ulcerated tumors in a severely reduced general condition, with anemia and extremely poor compliance, who was successfully treated with total-skin electron-beam radiotherapy with a less severe relapse after more than three years.

Crohn's disease masquerading as aphthous ulcers.

Although intraoral involvement in Crohn's disease (CD) is observed in only approximately 9% of cases, oral inflammation precedes intestinal symptoms of CD in about 60% of these patients. We describe a 20-year-old male with recurrent, painful, intraoral lesions who presented no other signs of systemic disease apart from severe loss of body weight. From the routinely screened serological parameters only the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and the acute phase reactants were elevated.
