Early‐stage mycosis fungoides, parapsoriasis en plaque, and pregnancy

Abstract

Pregnancy appeared to have no impact on the course of early MF or PPP, and no adverse effect was noted on pregnancy. Further studies are needed to clarify the interplay between pregnancy and MF or PPP.

Correlation between mycosis fungoides and pregnancy

“…At the commencement of her third trimester, she presented with an acute exacerbation of MF, and complete remission with trial treatment with alpha-interferon was achieved. In a series of 9 pregnant women with MF, 21 there was no evidence confirming the change of course of MF during pregnancy.

CD30+ large cell transformation of mycosis fungoides during pregnancy

“…In two MF patients that each undergone two pregnancies during the course of their disease, this finding was consistent and Pregnancy appeared to have no impact on the course of early MF. [2]…”

“…In One retrograde study Pregnancy appeared to have no impact on the course of early MF, and no adverse effect was noted on pregnancy. [2] There are few case reports about progression of MF during pregnancy.…”
