Abstract

THE ASSOCIATION of lymphoblastomatous diseases with several varieties of superficial and deep mycoses has already been reported.*

A review of the literature failed to reveal the coexistence of a clear-cut case of mycosis fungoides with coccidioidomycosis. However, the case published by Wernicke 5 in 1892 and that of Zeisler 6 reported in 1932 were presumed to present such a combination. It is our opinion that the illustrations and the histologic descriptions of these cases were compatible with cutaneous coccidioidomycosis clinically resembling mycosis fungoides rather than true mycosis fungoides.
