Mycosis fungoides as casus pro diagnosi

Hyperpigmented lichenoid mycosis fungoides as a new variant: clinical and histopathological evaluation

“…Similar to the previously mentioned reports of hyperpigmented MF [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], all of the 12 patients, in the present study, were dark-skinned with Fitzpatrick skin type III and IV.…”

“…Therefore, clinicopathologic correlation is mandatory to reach a proper diagnosis in the early stages of the disease [4]. Up to the best of our knowledge, there have been a total of nine published reports since 1996, those reports are of 16 patients (9 males and 7 females) in which MF was presented entirely or predominantly by hyperpigmented patches or plaques [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Their ages ranged from 19-69 yr with a mean age of 44 years (Table 1).…”

M-CPOnes: transition metal complexes with cyclopropenone-based ligands for light-triggered carbon monoxide release

“…Given diphenylcyclopropenone is one of the simplest and most well-studied diaryl-substituted cyclopropenones, [67][68][69] the initial target ligand was 1a (Scheme 2) where one of the phenyl groups was replaced with a simple 2,2′-bipyridine as the coordination motif for the development of this new class of CO-releasing molecules, M-CPOnes. Furthermore, ligands 1b and 1c would also be prepared where the second substituent was varied from a phenyl group to an electron rich thienyl and second N-heterocyclic substituent, respectively, to study the electronic effects of the aryl substituents on the stability and photophysical properties of the cyclopropenones and their corresponding M-CPOnes (Scheme 1).…”

Transformed mycosis fungoides in an atypical location

“…Mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, is mainly seen in older patients [1]. It generally follows an indolent course.…”
