Abstract
We report a new observation of granulomatous mycosis fungoides, The di agnosis was able to be made only after performing multiple biopsies du ring the course of the disease. Initial evolution was rapidly favourab le with electrontherapy.A granulomatous reaction is, except in Hodgkin 's disease, a rare phenomenon in lymphoproliferative disorders, partic ularly in cutaneous T cell lymphoma, This variant of mycosis fungoides raises the problem of the histological differentiation from other gra nulomatous dermatoses, mainly sarcoidosis. Its prognostic significance is disputed and its pathogenesis remains unknown.
