Survival Outcomes of Patients with Mycosis Fungoides Involving the External Ear and Ear Canal.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives/hypothesis

Mycosis Fungoides (MF) is the most common subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Disease involvement of specific locations may be more significant than simply the symptoms associated with that site; it is possible that involvement of certain sites could be associated with poor prognosis. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of patients with MF with documented involvement of the EAC and external ear.

Study design

Retrospective analysis.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 40 patients with MF that were treated by otologists between 2012 and 2021.

Results

We report the largest series of patients with MF involving the external ear and EAC. Of the 40 patients included in this study, 17 presented with Mycosis Fungoides in the otologic region (MFO).
