Mycosis Fungoides: Historical aspects

Abstract

Mycosis fungoides was first described in 1806 by Jean Louis Albert, the French dermatologist.
The lack of a sound knowledge of the exact aetiology and pathogenesis of MF has led the
clinicians to adopt so many synonyms for the disease. The present paper is trying to give a
detailed history of the disease called now Mycosis Fungoides (MF). The name has changed
continuously and simultaneously with new advances in the MF pathogenesis. All synonyms are mentioned here in details
