Fig2
Brain MRI, including DWI, confirmed the presence of a proliferative lesion with a slight hemorrhagic component and leptomeningeal contrast enhancement (Figure 2).
T cell clonality testing by PCR analysis of TCR Gamma gene rearrangements. TCR clonality profiles were obtained by extracted DNA from the diagnostic tissue for MF (A) and from cells (B) derived from CSF. The arrows indicate the TCRG monoclonal rearrangement.

A molecular TCR test was also performed on the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using different primer such described in previous studies (Van Dongen et al), and confirmed the of expression of clone T g/ of the same size of the ones observed in the skin biopsy (Figure 3).
