Overview

Mycosis Fungoides was first described in 1806 by French dermatologist Jean-Louis-Marc Alibert. Sézary's disease was first described by Albert Sézary.

Historical Perspective

  • Mycosis Fungoides was first described in 1806 by French dermatologist Jean-Louis-Marc Alibert. Mycosis fungoides is unrelated to fungus and the fungoides portion derives from a patient with a severe case whom Alibert described as having mushroom-like skin tumors.
  • Sézary's disease was first described by Albert Sézary.
