ABSTRACT

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most frequent type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The most common age of occurrence is between 40 and 60 years of age and it is rarely described in children. The frequency of childhood MF varies from 4 to 5% of the total number of MF cases, with more young patients having localized patch/plaque disease.
