Abstrakt
Background: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a type of T-cell
lymphoma with cutaneous involvement. It is a rare disease, of low
incidence and usually affects middle-aged men. In most cases only
the skin is involved although in advanced stages may present with
extra cutaneous involvement including the gastrointestinal tract.
Case report: We report the first case of MF with compromise
of duodenal papilla, emphasizing the diagnostic approach and a
brief review of the subject.
Discussion: This case report proves the value of the
endoscopic studies in patients with lymphoproliferative disorders,
because of the impact in the diagnosis and prognosis. Also, this
case report is relevant because there is no scientific evidence, as
far as we know, of similar cases reported.
