Description
Cher Ying Foo and co-authors report a skin lymphoma that reached the brain. Their 2025 case describes a seventy-five-year-old man with folliculotropic mycosis fungoides. This subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma behaves more aggressively than the classic form. Spread to the central nervous system is exceptionally rare and grim.
Six months of decline led doctors to test his spinal fluid. It held a cloned T-cell population matching his skin disease. Brain scans showed changes in the pons and nearby tracts. Steroids first calmed a blood abnormality. Chemotherapy into the spinal fluid followed for five cycles. His neurology improved markedly, and the fluid cleared. Rare spread, caught early, can still answer treatment.
