Popis:	Mycosis fungoides (MF) represents the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. MF is characterized by pruritic patches, plaques, and tumors that wax and wane, often with delayed diagnosis. Although the mortality rate of MF is lower than other types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, it has a significant impact on quality of life. This case describes refractory facial MF tumors that responded to low-dose radiation therapy (RT).
