A case of syringotropic mycosis fungoides without internal organ involvement received total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) and evolved into poikilodermatous mycosis fungoides. Subsequent oral psoralen plus ultraviolet A (PUVA) therapy achieved complete remission. The value of TSEBT for syringotroopic mycosis fungoides is illustrated in this case.
