| Diagnosis: | POLYMORPHOUS LIGHT ERUPTION | Category: | photosensitivity, photoexacerbated / papulosquamous eruptions | ||
| Body Site: | chest / arm | Age: | 51 years | ||
| Contributor: | Greg Hosler, MD, PhD | ||||
| Description: | The striking feature is the marked papillary dermal edema. There is overlying epidermal acanthosis with serum and scale crust. Wiithin the dermis, there is a vaguely wedge-shaped inflammatory infiltrate, extending to the mid reticular dermis. | ||||
| Comments: | This middle-age woman developed an acute eruption following sun exposure. The histologic findings here are classic. This level of papillary dermal edema significantly limits the differential diagnosis. With a strictly lymphocytic infiltrate, polymorphous light eruption is most likely. | ||||

| Diagnosis: | POLYMORPHOUS LIGHT ERUPTION | Category: | photosensitivity, photoexacerbated / reactive erythema | ||
| Body Site: | face / cheek | Age: | 12 years | ||
| Contributor: | Bernard Cohen, MD | ||||
| Description: | photodistributed symmetric discrete and confluent 1-2 mm red papules | ||||
| Comments: | This healthy 12-year-old girl developed an itchy red malar eruption on her face which spared sun protected areas within hours of her first intense sun exposure this spring. She experienced the same eruption last March when lesions resolved despite continued outdoor play over 1-2 weeks. Her medical examination and review of systems were negative, and screening laboratory studies for collagen vascular disease were negative. Note sparing of the hair protected forehead, upper lip, and upper eye lids. | ||||
