ABSTRACT
A 68-year-old male patient who was diagnosed as cutaneous mycosis fungoides with plaques, nodules and tumor has been treated with photochemotherapy. Oral methoxsalen followed by ultraviolet light(PUVA) resulted in clinical and histopathologic improvement of skin lesions. Photochemotherapy units consists of boxes with 12 UVA lamps. The initial dose was 8. 4 joules/cm2. The maintenance dose was 10. 5 joules/cm2. The total dose at present time is 1203. 82 joules/cm2. We prppose that PUVA therapy may be a valuable therapeutic regimen for mycosis fungoides.
