SUMMARY The effect of PUVA‐treatment was studied in five patients with lymphomatoid papulosis of 1–13 years duration. One patient with a 1‐year history went into complete remission, while the other four patients had partial remissions. PUVA‐treatment may prove useful in controlling this disease and it may also inhibit the development of malignancy.
