Abstract

BACKGROUND: Mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common subtype of cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL), is a rare chronic skin neoplasia. Total skin electron irradiation has been employed along with a variety of other topical or systemic treatments for MF management.

AIM: To report the first case treated by TSEB irradiation protocol in Greece.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A fractionated 36 Gy total skin electron beam (TSEB) therapy was prescribed to a 65-years-old male patient with mycosis fungoides (MF), stage IIB, refractory to several treatments during a 20-year period. Dose uniform delivery was monitored by thermo-luminescence dosimetry.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The homogeneous skin dose distribution resulted in a complete clinical response. Limited, irradiation-oriented, side effects appeared.

CONCLUSIONS: The first TSEB irradiation prescription in Greek medical chronicles was proved effective in this case of tumor stage MF (T3-IIB), which had been refractory to several single or combination treatments.
