Abstract

Unilesional mycosis fungoides is a rare cutaneous T cell lymphoma that warrants either radiation therapy or surgical excision. Benign characteristics result in misdiagnosis, delayed tissue biopsy and subsequently delayed provision of adequate treatment. A young patient presented with a history of 18 months of eczematous benign - appearing single lesion restricted to her index finger. Local electron-beam radiation following tissue diagnosis resulted in full recovery.
