Abstract
We report on a 59-year-old woman suffering from cutaneous T-cell lymphoma o f the mycosis fungoides type, who developed chronic ulcerating, radiation d ermatitis after total body electron beam irradiation with a cumulative dose of 36 Gy. The painful and easily bleeding ulcers could be markedly improve d using a combined approach with topical platelet-derived growth factor gel and hydrophilic. copolymer membranes.
