Mycosis fungoides plaque stage C84.0

• Large-area, clearly increased consistency of the plaques. The previously eczema-like foci, which become more prominent in un-tanned skin and can largely disappear in summer, increasingly increase their clinical presence with constant localisation. Itching increasingly stronger. They spread, with a tendency to confluence and increasing flattening of consistency.
• Colour: Strong red.
• Lymphadenopathy is possible and usually non-specific.
