Abstract
Mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, is a low-grade lymphoma usually occurring after the age of 50 years. We present a case of a 60-year-old man with cutaneous manifestations of MF, who later developed bilateral eyelid ulceration. MF is a highly recalcitrant disease with a relentless course. Our patient highlights a delayed presentation in MF with bilateral upper lid ulcerative lesions, which responded well to systemic chemotherapy, commenced for a visceral indication.
