Clinical Case #2: Early-stage Mycosis Fungoides with worsening skin symptoms

Joan Guitart, MD, Professor of Dermatology and Pathology at Northwestern University, explores the hypothetical patient case of a 40-year-old woman, initially diagnosed 2 years ago with stage IB Mycosis Fungoides. With treatment, her skin symptoms were well controlled. However, on her most recent presentation, her skin symptoms have worsened. See what Dr. Guitart’s next steps would be for this patient-and why they include flow cytometry to assess for blood involvement.
