  • Title: [Keratosis lichenoides chronica. Bath PUVA therapy].
    Author: Remling R, Schnopp C, Schmidt T, Hein R, Ring J, Abeck D.
    Journal: Hautarzt; 2002 Aug; 53(8):550-3. PubMed ID: 12221471.
    Abstract:
    We describe the case of a 51-year-old male patient with characteristic lesions of keratosis lichenoides chronica confined to the back of his hands and feet. The lichenoid papules, linear hyperkeratotic ridges and erythematosquamous plaques appeared first in early childhood and recurred after a short episode of spontaneous remission. They didn't respond to various topical treatment modalities over the years. After a local PUVA therapy all lesions disappeared with no recurrence for over two years now. Our case report indicates a new promising indication for bath-PUVA-therapy.
