Ultra-Low-Dose Radiotherapy for Palliation of Mycosis Fungoides

Introduction. Mycosis fungoides (MF) is a form of primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, and radiotherapy (RT) has been used to treat localized/limited lesions of MF. In this case report, the results of low-dose RT applied for palliative purpose are shared. Case Report. A 70-year-old male patient was admitted to the outpatient clinic 7 months ago with a generalized itchy rash. The result of the biopsy was reported as mycosis fungoides. Systemic treatment was not performed due to comorbid diseases. The hemibody RT was applied. 2？Gy was given per fraction, with a total dose of 6？Gy. The significant clinical relief was observed with 6？Gy RT. The patient died due to multiorgan failure 2 months later, and no recurrence was observed. Conclusion. The palliation was achieved in the advanced MF patient with fractionated 6？Gy hemibody RT for the remaining 2 months of life
