Abstract
A 65 years old male, retired chemical factory worker presented with generalized erythematous plaques of various sizes for 2 years. Sun exposure of the skin lesion was painful and pruritic. Lymph nodes were palpable in the neck, axilla and inguinal region after the appearance of skin lesions. He did not give any history of prolonged pyrexic illness, night sweating and significant weight loss. On peripheral flood film examination, lymphocytosis and eosinophilia with few atypical lymphocytes suggestive of Sezary cells were noted. Histopathological examination of skin tissue confirmed the diagnosis of mycosis fungoides.
