“…One patient developed basal cell carcinoma 7 years after PUVA therapy which is the most important long-term sideeffect of PUVA. 36,37 Similar results were reported in patients treated with PUVA for cGVHD in a limited number of patients. 33,34,[38][39][40] …”

“…Under this concept, he was diagnosed having psoriatic arthritis with asymmetric distribution of arthritis, involvement of DIP joints, and the presence of inflammatory features, in conjunction with the psoriasis vulgaris pattern of skin lesions. An elevated incidence of lung cancer was observed in patients with RA(2-4) and there is epidemiologic evidence that psoriasis itself and its treatment may cause increased incidence of lung cancer (5,6). If psoriatic arthritis is a variant form of RAor psoriasis, it can be assumed that its presence might further elevate the risk of lung cancer.…”

Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis. While an elevated incidence of lung cancer has been observed in patients with RAor psoriasis, there has been no report of psoriatic arthritis associated with lung cancer. Wehere report the first case of psoriatic arthritis which developed lung cancer. In this case, it was suspected that a combination of cigarette smoking, pulmonary fibrosis, and low-dose methotrexate therapy might have promoted the development of lung cancer.

“…78,87,102,103 An increased risk of SCC has been convincingly demonstrated for psoriasis patients treated with psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA). 80,[103][104][105] Treatment with either coal-tar or cyclosporine also increases the risk of SCC development. 80,106,107 Although numerous studies fail to demonstrate an increased risk of melanoma among PUVA-treated psoriasis patients, 80,83,87,91 one group found an increased risk of melanoma among psoriasis patients treated with aggressive PUVA after fifteen years of follow-up.…”
