Long‐term remission of stage IVa mycosis fungoides following treatment with I‐131 for concomitant thyroid carcinoma

Abstract

Abstract Background Treatment in advanced stage mycosis fungoides is often palliative. New approaches, like radioimmunotherapy, are necessary. However, only partial responses or short‐term remissions are ohtained with all these methods. Case report: A 37‐year‐old female had a tumor stage mycosis fungoides and a thyroid carcinoma with lymph node involvement. Both tumors are now in complete remission 9 years after following a combined treatment with I‐131 (total dose 250 mCi). Conclusion: Further studies are needed to assess the role of I‐131 in the treatment of mycosis fungoides.
