Phototesting in these patients typically reveals extreme sensitivity to UVB, to UVA, and sometimes to visible light. has site of lymphomatoid histologic appearance, actinic reticuloid is now regarded as a histologic arant of chronic actinic dermatitis, which is the spectriam of several photosensitivity dermatosis, delet to its benign course and transition to or from other photosensitivity dermatosis. We present a case of actinic veticuloid in 58-year-old male, who has severely edematous infiltrated lichenified erytherratous patches on sun-exposed skin, lynptmatoid histologic features with selective T cell infiltrat,ion, and selective photosensitivity to UV.
