Abstract
BACKGROUND
Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a form of lymphoma derived from heterogeneous T cells, and eyelid involvement is extremely rare. The common methods to treat eyelid involvement are radiotherapy and chemotherapy, but their efficacies are limited. Herein, we report a case of advanced-stage MF eyelid involvement, propose ultrasound (US)-guided microwave ablation (MWA) therapy and present a literature review.
CASE SUMMARY
A male patient was admitted to our hospital in June 2018 and diagnosed with MF via radiological and histopathological examinations. The patient’s condition was not well controlled by various conventional chemotherapies. US-guided MWA was performed to relieve the patient’s symptoms and improve his quality of life, showing satisfactory efficacy.
CONCLUSION
Eyelid involvement is one of the most troublesome clinical problems for advanced-stage MF patients. This is the first report on the use of US-guided MWA as a palliative therapy for MF eyelid involvement; the treatment successfully relieved the patient’s clinical symptoms and reduced his anxiety behaviours. Our study sheds new light on methods for improving the clinical management of eyelid involvement in MF.
