In this report, a case of disseminated actinic granuloma in a 50-year-old female with type 2 diabetes mellitus is described. This case is unique due to the unusually extensive cutaneous involvement of the face, neck, trunk, and extremities at initial presentation. The lesions were in a striking photo-distribution, highlighting ultraviolet light as an important environmental trigger for this process.

Drug-induced photosensitivity (DIP) is a common cutaneous adverse drug reaction, resulting from the interaction of ultraviolet radiations, mostly ultraviolet A, with drugs. DIP includes phototoxicity and photoallergy. A phototoxic reaction is obtained when topical and systemic drugs or their metabolites absorb light inducing a direct cellular damage, while a photoallergic reaction takes place when the interaction between drugs and ultraviolet radiations causes an immune cutaneous response.

Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) is a rare cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) subtype manifesting in middle-aged Caucasians with photo-distributed papulosquamous or annular lesions. Drug-induced SCLE (DI-SCLE) forms present in a similar manner but direct oral anticoagulants are rarely implicated. We report an unusual case of SCLE in a 37-year-old African American patient with a history of unprovoked deep vein thromboses (DVT) who presented with new-onset photoprotected polymorphic lesions two months after the initiation of apixaban anticoagulation therapy.
