A 78-year-old man with an 8-year-old history of histologically verified mycosis fungoides (MF) presented at our outpatient clinic. Twenty-five years ago, the patient was incorrectly diagnosed with psoriasis vulgaris and received therapy with only slight effect.

In the past, systemic phototherapy has been one of the main therapeutic methods of early-stage MF.1 Locally destructive methods have been beneficial in some patients with MF confined to a limited area and recently, MF was also successfully treated with the use of a 308-nm excimer laser. However, recent results justify the use of PDT in the management of unilesional MF.
