Abstract
Granulomatous slack skin (GSS) is a rare cutaneous T-cell lymphoma which typically runs a protracted and indolent course. On histopathological assessment lymphoid infiltrates with multinucleated giant cells in the dermis and subcutis with elastophagocytosis can be observed. Skin lesions are characterized by pendulous folds. We report on the successful response of the lesions to intralesional interferon alpha combined with PUVA.
