Abstract
Lymphoma is the most common malignant disease in patients with HIV infection in the advanced stages of the disease. The incidence of T-cell lymphomas in the presence of HIV infection is 12–15%, and, unlike B-cell lymphomas, they are usually associated with a worse treatment outcome. This paper presents a case of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (mycosis fungoides) in an HIV-infected man. Lymphoproliferative diseases can be hidden under the mask of diseases such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, parapsoriasis, eczema, mycosis of the skin, which are difficult to respond to the recommended type of therapy.
In order to prevent misdiagnosis in such cases, it is necessary to carry out a histological examination of the skin flap, on the basis of which it is possible to establish the exact nature of the lesion.
