Actinic reticuloid imitating Sézary syndrome.

Actinic reticuloid is a rare chronic idiopathic photosensitive dermatosis belonging to the spectrum of chronic actinic dermatitis and may be mistaken for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. We report the case of an erythrodermic patient, initially diagnosed with Sézary syndrome, treated with chlorambucil and prednisolone. Later on, a photobiological study demonstrated photosensitivity to UVB, UVA, and visible light.
