Abstract
- Early stage mycosis fungoides (MF) has been treated with skin directed therapies including topical steroids, phototherapy (UVB), photochemotherapy (PUVA), topical nitrogen mustard, or total skin electron beam therapy. Recently, several studies have been reported that treat early-stage MF with narrow band UVB (NBUVB), which is an effective and convenient modality compared to other alternatives. Herein, we describe two cases of early stage MF treated with NBUVB. During the remission induction therapy, oral acitretin combined with NBUVB was used for several weeks to clear the MF, followed by treatment with only NBUVB for maintenance.
