Topical mechlorethamine therapy for mycosis fungoides
Abstract
Patients with limited skin involvement by mycosis fungoides were treated with daily topical mechlorethamine. Seven of thirteen patients had a complete remission of diseases. Six of these seven experienced a contact dermatitis and four underwent a successful topical desensitization programme. The possible beneficial therapeutic effects of developing a contact allergy are discussed.
