Mycosis fungoides ( MF ) is the most common type of primary cutaneous T ‐cell lymphoma. According to the proposed guidelines for MF , skin‐directed therapies are the treatment of choice for patients with limited stage disease. We present a case of early‐stage MF , who progressed to tumor‐stage MF during the postpartum period, showing a solitary ulcerated tumor on the vulva, which was successfully treated with local response‐based, low‐dose radiotherapy.
