First-line treatment in lymphomatoid papulosis: a retrospective multicentre study

Abstract: Current epidemiological, clinical and pathological data support previous results. Topical steroids, phototherapy and methotrexate are the most frequently prescribed first-line treatments. Although CR and cutaneous relapse rates do not differ between them, phototherapy achieves a longer DFS. Presence of Type A LyP and use of topical steroid or methotrexate were associated with an increased risk of early relapse.

“…Alternatively, PUVA may induce longer lasting photoproducts than UVB does, resulting in a sustained downstream immunosuppressive cascade. Notably, phototherapy with both PUVA or UVB is effective not only in MF but also in lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) ( 98 ), a disease that sometimes coexists with MF and is characterized by papules and nodules with deep skin infiltration up to 1 cm or more; however, these light treatments only directly reach the infiltrating cells in the most superficial layers but not those in the diseased deep tissue. The immunosuppressive microenvironment induced by phototherapy in the upper layers of the skin may be sufficient to deplete infiltrating cells in LyP and/or prevent the occurrence of new lesions in this intermittent disease.…”

“…Complete response rates in these series ranged from 20% to 52%, and partial responses were common. 19,20 When used for LyP, methotrexate is taken orally or administered subcutaneously every 1 to 4 weeks; maintenance is usually required, as recurrences off therapy are common. 19,21 Responses of LyP to methotrexate are often rapid, with resolution within 1 to 2 weekly doses.…”

We typically start at 10 to 15 mg by mouth weekly, increasing by 2.5 to 5 mg every few weeks until there is complete resolution.…”

“…LyP usually occurs in middle-age patients but can also occur occasionally in elderly patients and children, on the trunk and extremities (21). Eighty percent of LyP cases show generalized skin lesions, with the remaining 20% showing localized skin lesions at presentation (24,33). LyP has a histological appearance of a malignant disease, but exhibits clinically benign behavior (21).…”
