Abstract
Mycosis fungoides was observed in a 71-year-old male with mediterranean lymphoma, a B-cell malignancy. It is proposed that this association is not incidental since hypergammaglobulinaemia and even monoclonal gammopathies have repeatedly been described in cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. Mediterranean lymphoma might have resulted from (a) helper cell activities of tumor T-lymphocytes, (b) common antigenic stimuli, or (c) deranged T-B cooperation due to concomitant mycosis fungoides. Bei einem 71jährigen Patienten mit mediterranem Lymphom, einem B-Zell-Lymphom, wurde eine Mykosis fungoides festgestellt. Es wird angenommen, daß es sich bei dieser Assoziation nicht um ein zufälliges Zusammentreffen handelt, da bei cutanen T-Zell-Lymphomen wiederholt Hypergammaglobulinämien und sogar monoklonale Gammopathien beobachtet wurden. Dem mediterranen Lymphom könnten (a) Helfer-Zell-Effekte der Tumor-T-Lymphocyten, (b) gemeinsame antigene Stimuli oder (c) eine gestörte T-B-Kooperation infolge der Mykosis fungoides zugrunde liegen.Keywords
