Epidemiological Features of Mycosis Fungoides in Isfahan, Iran: a 3-Years Study
,
Abstract
Background: Mycosis Fungoides (MF) is he most common and indolent form of Cutaneuse T-cell Lymphomas (CTCL), that usually occurs in old adults.Objectives: To determine epidemiologic features and patients characteristics of MF in Isfahan (Iran).Methods: We performed a retrospective study in MF clinic of alzahra hospital that is the main center for treatment of MF patients in Isfahan (Iran) and evaluated clinicopathologic features.Results: in 3 years 25 patients were referred to Alzahra MF clinic. 18 patients diagnosed as MF. Seven (38.9%) patients were male and 11 (61.1%) were female with male to female ratio of 1:1.57. The mean age of patients was 41.06 years. 88.9% of our patients were in stages ΙA and ΙB.Conclusion: most of our patients presented in early stages that were similar to other studies, while male: female ratio is different from other studies.Parker SR, Bethaney JV.
