Overview
Classification
Though there are many types of CTCL and presentation can vary from individual to individual, there are two main forms:
- mycosis fungoides (MF)
- Sézary syndrome (SS)
There is some dispute over whether SS is an advanced form of MF or a different type of CTCL entirely - in either case, the prognosis for SS patients is substantially poorer than for those of MF.
