Abstract
Patients with limited skin involvement by mycosis fungoides were treated with daily topical mechlorethamine. Seven of 13 patients had a complete remission of diseases. Six of these 7 experienced a contact dermatitis and 4 underwent a successful topical desensitization program. The possible beneficial therapeutic effects of developing a contact allergy are discussed.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
