title: Treatment of cutaneous plasmacytosis with mask-bath PUVA: A therapeutic option.
abstract: Cutaneous plasmacytosis (CP) is an uncommon chronic disease of unknown aetiology, reported mainly in middle-aged patients of Asian descent. It is diagnosed by a constellation of physical, laboratory, radiological and histopathological findings. We report a patient with CP who demonstrated a favorable and promising response to mask-bath PUVA.
