Summary Six cases of mycosis fungoides, an uncommon lymphoproliferative disorder of the skin, seen usually in males between 40-60 years, are presented to illustrate the two distinct prognostic courses followed by the disease. An early diagnosis, though essential for proper management, often eludes the physician because of bizarre presentation and inconsistant histology. Presenting in 3 stages — erythematous, plaque and nodular/ulcerative, the patchy infiltration of lower dermis by lymphocytes, immature and atypical reticulum cells, pleomorphism of histiocytes and presence of intraepithelial abscesses are diagnostic of the disease.
