Overview
Mycosis Fungoides was first described in 1806 by French dermatologist Jean-Louis-Marc Alibert.[1][2] The name mycosis fungoides is very misleading—it loosely means "mushroom-like fungal disease". The disease, however, is not a fungal infection but rather a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It was so named because Alibert described the skin tumors of a severe case as having a mushroom-like appearance.[3]
Sézary's disease was first described by Albert Sézary.
