Abstract
Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a T-cell lymphoma that predominantly affects the skin. Involvement of the oral tissues in MF is rare. A case of MF with involvement of the maxillary gingiva and cervical lymph nodes is presented. Electron-beam radiation with 40 Gy and systemic chemothera py with vincristine and interferon gamma produced almost complete remi ssion of the oral lesion while the persistent pain was relieved.
