A 59-year-old man with Hodgkin's lymphoma was referred by a hematologist for consultation for cutaneous issues. Physical examination revealed generalized scaling and erythematous scaly patches located in the groin, abdomen, and arms. The biopsy was compatible with mycosis fungoides (MF). At his next medical visit, painful nodules with erythematous halo and scabby surface were noted, and a subsequent biopsy was compatible with lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP). Mycosis fungoides, the most common primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, is usually defined in its classic form as a CD4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma; LyP corresponds to a CD30 lymphoproliferative disorder; and Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) constitutes a lymphoid neoplasia characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells and its variants. Although these entities have been defined independently, evidence suggests the possibility of a common monoclonal origin. To our knowledge, this is the first case of MF, LyP, and HL in a single patient.

BACKGROUND Primary cutaneous lymphomas (PCL) are a multifaceted spectrum of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) and cutaneous B cell lymphomas (CBCL). Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare subset of CTCL that primarily affects adults, and its occurrence in children is exceedingly rare. Most pediatric MF manifests as hypopigmented patches resembling other benign dermatoses, causing diagnostic challenges.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are a heterogeneous group of extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas characterised by a cutaneous infiltration of malignant monoclonal T lymphocytes. While this broad spectrum of disease with its varied etiopathogenesis, clinical features and management options are well characterised, an approach from a dermatologist's perspective is lacking in the literature. We strive to elucidate the approach from a clinician's point of view, especially in respect of clinical examination, investigations, staging and management options that are available in the realm of the dermatologists.

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a neoplasm of the immune system. It is a cutaneous lymphoma originating in the peripheral epidermotropic T-cells, specifically the memory T-cells (CD45RO+). The etiology of MF is indefinite, but various factors, such as genetic and epigenetic abnormalities, environmental and occupational exposure to chemicals, infections, and cytokines (interleukin [IL]-2, IL-4, etc.

Background: There are few studies in the literature comparing the effectiveness of topical treatments in early-stage mycosis fungoides (MF).
Objectives: It was aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy, side effects and topical treatment compliance with bexarotene or clobetasol propionate in early-stage MF.
Methods: A total of 40 patients with stage IA-IB MF were enrolled in the study.
