Mycosis fungoides palmaris et plantaris: successful treatment with the carbon dioxide laser.
Mycosis fungoides palmaris et plantaris (MFPP) is an uncommon form of mycosis fungoides with main involvement on palms and soles. The lesions may be quite hyperkeratotic. A 56-year-old patient with MFPP was successfully treated with the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser. There was no recurrence of disease at treated sites and excellent cosmetic results were obtained. Treatment with the CO2 laser may be considered a therapeutic option.
