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 obtained 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.
