Symptomatic involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) with mycosis fungoides is rare, and usually characterized by involvement of meninges. We describe a patient with long‐standing mycosis fungoides who developed acute spinal cord compression. Since tumor‐related spinal cord compression requires early intervention for a successful outcome, it should be recognized as an additional form of CNS mycosis fungoides.
