Abstract

A 77-year-old woman developed a diffuse nodular eruption with histologic, ultrastructural, and biologic evidence of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) limited to the skin. She was treated with a new aromatic retinoid Ro 10-9359 (1 mg/kg/day). After 34 days, the lesions flattened completely and the mononuclear cell infiltrate decreased significantly. No clinical recurrences occurred after a 4-month survey. Discontinuation of the aromatic retinoid led to a relapse with identical clinical and histologic features.
