✦ Synopsis


Abstract

CD8+ cutaneous T‐cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a relatively rare subset of the non‐Hodgkins lymphomas. Bexarotene has been FDA‐approved for the treatment of CTCL, but previous studies have been conducted on CD4+ CTL and there have been no reports about its use in CD8+ CTCL. Herein, we report on a patient whose CD8+ CTCL completely responded to treatment with bexarotene. Am. J. Hematol., 2008. Β© 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
