Actinic reticuloid.
We report four cases of actinic reticuloid, including the first case ever reported in a woman. We have concluded that not all the patients are persistent light reactors and that the histologic presentation can be quite variable, in some cases extremely difficult to differentiate from a cutaneous lymphoma. Phototesting studies in incriminate the long UV and/or visible light range. The duration of the disease in these cases suggests a benign process which can be included among the cutaneous pseudomalignancies. Further cytoimmunological studies may incriminate the interaction of T-lymphocytes in the pathogenesis of the condition.
