Poikilodermatous mycosis fungoides with CD30-positive large cell transformation successfully treated by brentuximab vedotin

Abstract

We present a patient with a 33-year history of poikilodermatous mycosis fungoides (MF) who subsequently developed CD30-positive large cell transformation. After 6 years of conventional MF treatment, side effects of therapy and/or concomitant diseases prevented the previously applied treatment modalities. The CD30-directed antibody-cytotoxic drug conjugate (brentuximab vedotin) was introduced and followed by quick and excellent therapeutic response. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
