Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common clinicopathological subtype of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
The term “mycosis fungoides” was first used in 1806 by Jean-Louis Marc Alibert, a French dermatologist, when he described a severe disorder in which large necrotic tumours resembling mushrooms presented on a patient’s skin. However, the designation is a misnomer since no association with a fungus exists.
