193 Increased risk of malignancy in mycosis fungoides: A single-center perspective

Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare, generally indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the skin. In a large, population based study of the SEER-18 database, we recently found that patients with mycosis fungoides are at increased risk of developing second malignancies. This case-control study examines factors associated with development of second malignancies in 172 MF patients treated at the University of Minnesota from 2005-2017. We identified 172 patients with MF, median age of 59 years (range, 8-89). As a control group, we identified 175 patients with seborrheic dermatitis (SD), median age of 61.4 years (range 14.4-88.3, p> 0.3).
