Studies from University Hospital Add New Findings in the Area of Mycosis Fungoides (Perichondritis As a Presentation of Mycosis Fungoides Infiltrating the Pinna).

A recent report from University Hospital in Yvoir, Belgium describes a case of mycosis fungoides, a type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, presenting as perichondritis of the pinna in a 78-year-old patient. The patient experienced progressive necrosis of the pinna, requiring surgical management. The final anatomopathological analysis confirmed mycosis fungoides, which had transformed into a large T-cell lymphoma. This case highlights the rarity and potential aggressiveness of mycosis fungoides in the pinna, its ability to mimic perichondritis, and provides visual documentation of the condition. For more information, refer to the article "Perichondritis As a Presentation of Mycosis Fungoides Infiltrating the Pinna" in the journal B-ENT. [Extracted from the article]
