Abstract:
Generalized distinct hyperpigrnented macules developed at 2. 7 years after starting photochemotherapy(psoralen and UVA) in a 66-year-old psoriatic male patient. The histopathologic feature of this macule was characterized as a lentiginous p roliferation. The significance and long term course of PUVA lentigo are still unknown. So, we will further monitor this patient continually for melanocytic dysplasias, including melanoma.
