Presentation
Tinea incognito This is tinea corporis with an altered, nonclassic presentation due to corticosteroid treatment. [5] See Clinical Presentation for more detail. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Alopecia is frequently present. If the lymphoma is localized to the face, eyebrow plaques with enlarged pores are a common presentation. [rarediseases.org]
Presence of both findings concurrently was present in 56 patients (64.4%), while neither finding was present in 5 patients (5.8%). [cancerindex.org]
Case presentation A 71-year-old Asian woman with a long-standing history of seasonal rhinosinusitis presented with persistent nasal congestion, cough, and fever unresponsive to antihistamines and antibiotics. [diagnosticpathology.biomedcentral.com]
Entire Body System
- Fatigue
Nausea Diarrhea Mouth sores Hair loss Fatigue and weakness Infection Nail changes (color changes to your fingernails or toenails may occur while taking Taxotere. In extreme, but rare, cases nails may fall off. [chemocare.com]
Other side effects include: headache, nausea, fatigue, and sun sensitivity. Diabetics may experience hypoglycemia and should monitor their blood sugar carefully. [oncolink.org]
This lymphoma, like other subtypes, can result in impaired immunity and opportunistic infections, and interfere with the body’s ability to make blood cells resulting in fatigue and bleeding. [lymphoma.org]
You might have: tummy (abdominal) pain weight loss diarrhoea, which might have blood in it fatigue an itchy rash. You might be malnourished (not getting enough nutrients) if you are not absorbing food properly. [lymphoma-action.org.uk]
B-cell lymphoma intravascular large B-cell lymphoma ALK-positive large B-cell lymphoma The following are the primary symptoms you may experience with DLBCL: enlarged lymph nodes night sweats unusual weight loss loss of appetite extreme tiredness or fatigue [healthline.com]
Gastrointestinal
- Abdominal Pain
You might have: tummy (abdominal) pain weight loss diarrhoea, which might have blood in it fatigue an itchy rash. You might be malnourished (not getting enough nutrients) if you are not absorbing food properly. [lymphoma-action.org.uk]
These additional symptoms may include: abdominal pain, diarrhea, blood in stools a cough and shortness of breath A lymphoma occurs when lymphocytes begin to grow and divide, or reproduce, quickly and without control. [healthline.com]
The most common presenting symptom is abdominal pain, with or without fever, as same as Fang et al indicated before [13]. [journals.plos.org]
Non-specific abdominal pain, gut/gallbladder infarction, and pancreatitis are all features. Nasal or oral inflammation: development of painful or painless oral ulcers or purulent or bloody nasal discharge. [bloomassociation.org]
Skin
- Eczema
Non-fungal conditions resembling tinea corporis include: Impetigo Seborrhoeic dermatitis Psoriasis Discoid eczema Lichen simplex Contact allergic dermatitis Pityriasis rosea Diagnosis of tinea corporis The diagnosis of tinea corporis is confirmed by microscopy [dermnetnz.org]
Often, it is misdiagnosed as psoriasis or eczema at first and only recognized after several biopsies. Cancers of the lymphatic system are called "lymphomas". The most well known lymphoma is Hodgkin's disease. [aocd.org]
The disease is typically slow growing and may be mistaken for other inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. MF-CTCL may be present for years or even decades before it's diagnosed. [valchlor.com]
Symptoms of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) In the early stages, CTCL can look like other skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis. This may mean it takes some time to diagnose. [macmillan.org.uk]
Patches are usually flat, possibly scaly, and look like a rash; plaques are thicker, raised, usually itchy lesions that are often mistaken for eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis; and tumors are raised bumps, which may or may not ulcerate. [lymphoma.org]
Workup
See Workup for more detail. Management Topical therapy is recommended for a localized infection because dermatophytes rarely invade living tissues. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Treatment
After treatment When treatment finishes, your doctor will monitor you regularly in clinic. CTCL generally comes back and so you may need PUVA treatment again. [cancerresearchuk.org]
Your doctor may have reasons for suggesting a treatment plan different from these general treatment options. Don't hesitate to ask him or her questions about your treatment options. [cancer.org]
It might mean you need more intense treatment. Talk with your doctor about what your cancer stage means and how it impacts your treatment. [webmd.com]
Therefore, alternative approaches to the treatment of CTCL are desired. Our purpose was to determine the efficacy of 5% imiquimod cream in comparison with placebo in the treatment of stage IA CTCL. [jamanetwork.com]
Treatment for mycosis fungoides Mycosis fungoides can be very well controlled with treatment, but it has a tendency to come back (relapse) when treatment is stopped. A few people need no treatment at all at first. [lymphoma-action.org.uk]
Prognosis
International Prognostic Index In addition to stage, a scale called the International Prognostic Index (IPI) is important in determining the prognosis of aggressive lymphomas. Prognosis is the chance of recovery. [cancer.net]
Understand Your Prognosis Your prognosis is a best guess at your chances of recovering from lymphoma after treatment. Your doctor will think about a few things, called prognostic factors, to get an idea of your odds. [webmd.com]

There are 4 subtypes: The smoldering subtype tends to grow slowly, many times has no symptoms, and has a good prognosis. The chronic subtype also grows slowly and has a good prognosis. The acute subtype is the most common. [cancer.org]
Etiology
The etiologic agents in tinea cruris produce keratinases, which allow invasion of the cornified cell layer of the epidermis. The host immune response may prevent deeper invasion. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention
Control any athlete's foot infection to prevent its spread to the groin. If you spend time in moist public areas, such as a gym shower, wearing sandals will help prevent athlete's foot. Dec. 14, 2018 Ely JW, et al. [mayoclinic.org]
Can lymphedema be prevented? There is no sure way to prevent all cases of lymphedema related to cancer. However, there are surgical techniques to remove lymph nodes that lower the risk of it developing. [cancer.org]
Loose clothing can prevent sweating and the warm, moist environment in which fungus thrives. Make sure you wash any workout clothes or athletic supporters after each use. [healthline.com]
The tips given below may help to prevent recurrences. What is fungal groin infection and how do you get it? Fungal groin infection (tinea cruris) Fungal groin infection (tinea cruris) is a fungal skin infection of the groin. [patient.info]
Patient Education Educate patients about the risks of sharing sheets and undergarments with others and about the need to keep the groin region dry (see Deterrence/Prevention). [emedicine.medscape.com]
