Overview

NCI Definition: A peripheral (mature) T-cell lymphoma presenting in the skin with patches/plaques. It is characterized by epidermal and dermal infiltration of small to medium-sized T-cells with cerebriform nuclei. Patients with limited disease generally have an excellent prognosis. In the more advanced stages, the prognosis is poor. (WHO, 2001) [1]

Mycosis fungoidess most frequently harbor alterations in KMT2D, FAT1, CDKN2A, TP53, and SOCS1 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Mycosis Fungoides

KMT2D Mutation, FAT1 Mutation, CDKN2A Loss, CDKN2B Loss, and TP53 Mutation are the most common alterations in mycosis fungoides [2].
