Abstract

SOLER-MACHIN, J. et al. Imiquimod in treatment of palpebral mycosis fungoides. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2006, vol.81, n.4, pp.221-224. ISSN 0365-6691.

Clinical case: Our patient was a 37-year-old male with palpebral mycosis fungoides, the most common T-cell cutaneous lymphoma. He had been treated previously with topical corticosteroids. We treated him with Imiquimod cream (5%) three times a week. Discussion: A clinical improvement was obtained with this drug, so we believe immuno-modulating agents need to be considered in the treatment of palpebral mycosis fungoides, especially because of its capacity of being a reflection of leukaemia.

Keywords : Mycosis fungoides; Imiquimod; T-cell lymphomas.
