  ABSTRACT: Background: Mycosis Fungoides (MF) is the most common and indolent form of Cutaneuse T-cell Lymphomas (CTCL), that usually occurs in old adults. Objectives: To determine epidemiologic features and patients characteristics of MF in Isfahan (Iran).

Results: In 3 years 25 patients were referred to Alzahra MF clinic. 18 patients diagnosed as MF. Seven (38.9%) patients were male and 11 (61.1%) were female with male to female ratio of 1:1.57.
