Mycosis fungoides is a low grade malignant cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. It is a rare disorder where diagnosis may be difficult to establish in early stages. Usually several years may pass between onset of disease and confirmation of the diagnosis, which should be confirmed histopathologically. Prognosis is difficult to predict and depends on whether mycosis fungoides is limited to the skin or has spread to lymph nodes or viscera. Based on the confirmation of six new cases of mycosis fungoides during the last 18 months by the Department of Dermatology, University Hospital of Tromsø, we discuss clinicopathological findings and alternative methods of treatment.
