Published: March 1996

We report here a case of a 49 year-old woman who developed a unilateral Jaccoud's arthropathy 9 years after a mycosis fungoides of the left hand. This rheumatic affection, described in 1866, is a deformation of the hands or of the feet linked to a periarticular disease without any bone lesion. Many causes have been registered but the most frequent etiology is the systemic lupus erythematosus. The mycosis fungoides had never been reported as yet to be responsible to the Jaccoud's arthropathy.
