MYCOSIS-FUNGOIDES INVOLVING THE CERVICAL ESOPHAGUS

Review of the otolaryngologic literature reveals no case reports of my cosis fungoides involving the esophagus. Postmortem studies report 12 cases of esophageal involvement in 131 autopsies of patients with myco sis fungoides. We describe a 54-year-old man with mycosis fungoides in volving the larynx, hypopharynx, and esophagus. Treatment consisted of radiation to this area, with resolution of the patient's hoarseness a nd dysphagia. The charts of 96 patients with mycosis fungoides treated at our institution were retrospectively reviewed. Three additional ca ses involving the aerodigestive tract, but not the esophagus, were fou nd. Esophageal mycosis fungoides was an incidental finding in two of s even autopsies at our institution.
