We evaluated the efficacy of phototherapy in thetreatment of parapsoriasis and its relation with TCCL. Patients diagnosed withparapsoriasis and treated with phototherapy PUVA or UVB-NB were selected. Between 1to 8 years following treatment the evolution of their disease was evaluated. In 62patients the cure rate was 79.3% and 17.2% showed improvement of the lesions. Onlytwo patients developed full blown T-cell cutaneous lymphoma. Phototherapy is anexcellent treatment for parapsoriasis, with high cure rates, regardless of the typeof phototherapy employed.
