Evaluation and staging in the Scottish Dermatological Society mycosis fungoides register.

The patients registered in the first two years of the Scottish Dermatological Society's Malignant Lymphoid Neoplasm Register are described. Criteria for inclusion in the Register and laboratory tests carried out in the staging of these patients is listed. Significant abnormalities detected to date include low levels of circulating E and EAC rosette forming cells and an elevated IgE level in a proportion of patients. It is hoped that continued monitoring of these patient will clarify the relationship of these abnormalities to the natural progression of the disease.
