Immunosuppressive therapy is well recognized as increasing the risk of lymphoma. Mycosis fungoides is a rare cutaneous form of T-cell lymphoma with a largely unknown etiology and not typically associated with immunosuppression. In this article, we describe our encounter with a 24-year-old male with Crohn's disease in remission on immunotherapy, specifically dual therapy with azathioprine and infliximab, presenting with a facial rash found to be consistent with mycosis fungoides on biopsy. The patient's rash resolved with treatment of topical steroids. In addition, the decision was made to discontinue his azathioprine to minimize his risks of developing future malignancies.
免疫抑制疗法被公认为会增加患淋巴瘤的风险。蕈样肉芽肿是一种罕见的T细胞淋巴瘤皮肤形式,其病因大多未知,通常与免疫抑制无关。在本文中,我们描述了一名24岁男性克罗恩病患者的情况,该患者在接受免疫疗法(具体为硫唑嘌呤和英夫利昔单抗联合治疗)后病情缓解,出现面部皮疹,活检发现与蕈样肉芽肿一致。患者的皮疹经局部类固醇治疗后消退。此外,决定停用他的硫唑嘌呤,以尽量降低其未来发生恶性肿瘤的风险。
