A 45-year-old man presents to his primary care
physician with a complaint of patchy dry areas
on his skin. After several trials of skin emollients
and corticosteroid therapies without improvement,
the lesions are biopsied by a dermatologist.
Pathologic examination reveals a
monoclonal population of B lymphocytes infiltrating
the dermis and epidermis. A complete
blood count is normal, and no atypical cells
are observed on peripheral blood smear. The
patient states that he feels quite well. Which of
the following management options would be
appropriate as recommended by the patient’s
dermatologist?
(A) Anticipation of bone marrow transplant
(B) Observation alone
(C) Systemic chemotherapy
(D) Systemic corticosteroids
(E) Treatment of the affected areas of skin with
topical nitrogen mustard
(F) Treatment of the entire skin surface via total
skin electron beam therapy
