Lichen planus actinicus.

Lichen planus actinicus is a photodistributed variant of lichen planus that most often occurs in individuals with dark complexions. Sunlight seems to be a triggering factor in most cases. Several clinical morphologic patterns have been described, and multiple therapies with variable results have been used. The lesions in some patients may remit spontaneously with sun avoidance.

Primary cutaneous north american blastomycosis in an immunosuppressed child.

Primary cutaneous blastomycosis and primary cutaneous sphaeropsidale infections are rare in children. We present a 6-year-old immunosuppressed girl who had a solitary ulceration on her left lower leg which showed histopathologic findings of blastomycosis. She responded readily to oral itraconazole.
