Abstract
Involvement of the oral mucosa and the adjacent respiratory tract by mycosis fungoides occurs on relatively rare occasions. It is characterized by the appearance of film tumor masses with irregular borders; the overlying mucosa may have superficial ulcerations which appear in the plaque and tumor stages of the disease. Histologically the mucosal lesion is similar, if not identical with the skin lesion, and the picture is pathognomonic of the disease. It may involve the buccal mucosa, the tongue, the hard and soft palate, and the larynx. The lesions, present in the tongue, buccal mucosa, and hard palate, occurred in an individual.
