Role of the argon laser in treatment of lymphocytoma cutis

J Am Acad Dermatol. 1986 Feb;14(2 Pt 1):267-72. doi: 10.1016/s0190-9622(86)70032-7.

Abstract

Lymphocytoma cutis characteristically appears as persistent reddish purple papules, nodules, or plaques. Response to treatment is variable and recurrences are common. We report the use of the argon laser as a modality that improved cosmetic appearance and alleviated symptoms of lymphocytoma cutis but that failed to provide complete histologic clearing of the inflammatory cells.
