Mycosis fungoides d'emblée C84.0

Historical term for malignant lymphomas of the skin primarily manifesting as nodules, which were regarded as a variant of mycosis fungoides in older literature (see Alibert and Bazin below). According to current knowledge, this historical term also covers other cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (non-MF-CTCL/Olsen E et al. 2007) as well as rarer B-cell lymphomas.
