  • Title: Photosensitive mycosis fungoides or actinic reticuloid?
    Author: De Silva BD, McLaren K, Kavanagh GM.
    Journal: Br J Dermatol; 2000 Jun; 142(6):1221-7. PubMed ID: 10848752.
    Abstract:
    We report two patients who satisfied the diagnostic criteria for actinic reticuloid (AR) on initial presentation, in whom genotypic analysis of early skin biopsies failed to show T-cell gene receptor rearrangements. Both patients progressed to widespread skin involvement associated with histopathological and genotypic features of mycosis fungoides (MF). Arguably, these patients may have had photosensitive MF from the outset, but their clinical features, phototesting, and subsequent demonstration of a T-cell gene receptor rearrangement in the skin could also suggest progression of AR to MF.
