Abstract
Herein, we present a case of long-standing mycosis fungoides of the digit that was previously misdiagnosed. We highlight the unusual presentation of the lesion, as well as its extreme response to focal radiation therapy. This case demonstrates the importance of early biopsies in lesions with mycosis fungoides on the differential. In addition, close monitoring during initial treatment of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) can help patients in tolerance of therapy.
