Abstract

Mycosis fungoides with large-cell transformation is historically associated with a poor prognosis. Pediatric cases of mycosis fungoides with large-cell transformation are rare, with only three other cases reported in the literature. We present the first case of a child with almost complete remission of his mycosis fungoides with large-cell transformation shortly after administration of psoralen plus ultraviolet A, interferon-alfa, and localized radiation.
