Purpose: To report a case of mycosis fungoides with subsequent intraocular involvement and good response to intravitreal methotrexate.
Design: Case report.
Methods: Retrospective chart review.
Results: This is a rare case of intraocular T-cell lymphoma due to mycosis fungoides, which responded to intravitreal methotrexate therapy in a previous vitrectomized eye.
Conclusions: Intraocular T-cell lymphoma is a rare manifestation of mycosis fungoides and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic uveitis in patients with this history. Intravitreal methotrexate may be an effective adjunctive treatment for this condition.

Objective: To highlight the importance of early recognition of hypopigmented mycosis fungoides (HMF) in cases of cutaneous hypochromia in children, with a view to an effective diagnostic and therapeutic approach.
Case Description: Two cases of HMF in children are reported. The first case involves an eight-year-old boy with hypochromic macules on the trunk and root of the upper and lower limbs, while the second case is a six-year-old boy with widespread hypochromic patches.

Background And Objectives: Patients with cutaneous lymphomas (CL) are at an increased risk of developing secondary malignancies. This study aimed to assess the frequency of association between CL and Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and to identify factors that may promote the co-occurrence of these two diseases.
Patients And Methods: On January 25, 2024, we conducted a systematic search of four electronic medical databases to identify all published cases of KS associated with CL.

Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous T cell lymphomas (CTCLs) are challenging to treat non-Hodgkin lymphomas, with Mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sezary syndrome (SS) being the most prevalent subtypes.
- There is no established standard treatment or cure for these conditions, making management difficult.
- Recent clinical trials are testing new therapies, including innovative chemotherapies, antibodies, immunotherapies, and cellular therapies that could enhance treatment options for MF and SS.
