[Study under scanning electron microscopy of scales of PUVA treated psoriasis (authors's transl)].
The authors recall an particular aspect of microvilli at the surface of horney cells in psoriasic disease. These microvilli are rounded, irregular size and spaced. The photochemotherapy involves parallely the disappearance of these microvilli and the recovery of the cutaneous lesions. The authors describe a "crumpled" aspect of the microvilli, appearing during the evolution towards the recovery.
