Early nail involvement in mycosis fungoides with rapid systemic progression: rethinking the role of Ki-67: a case report
This case suggests the potential for aggressive mycosis fungoides behavior despite indolent histopathological characteristics. Initial nail involvement might serve as a clinical marker of atypical progression. The limitations of Ki-67 alone suggest the need for comprehensive prognostic models that incorporate molecular biomarkers, such as thymocyte selection-associated high mobility group box, CD30, and T-cell receptor clonality.
