Abstract
A patient with stable chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia was treated with 8-methoxypsoralen photochemotherapy (PUVA) for erythrodermic psoriasis. After 4 months, transformation to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) occurred. We would suggest caution when considering PUVA therapy in patients with pre-leukaemic disorders.
