Patients with mycosis fungoides stage 1A disease have patch and plaque lesions less than %10 of body skin area. Aim of the study is to compare lesional and non-lesional skin of mycosis fungoides patients, and to decide if the systemic treatment is better or local treatment is better for them. Two biopsies for each patient were taken from lesional and non-lesional skin area.
