A serious condition or a benign masquerade?

David Payton, MA, MMS, PA-C; Christopher Reardon, PhD, MD; Michel Statler, MLA, PA-C

 

A 57-year-old man first presented to our dermatology clinic with a 2-year history of a diffuse, patchy, pruritic rash. According to the patient, he had a skin biopsy during that period that was reportedly negative for fungal or malignant disease. His medical history was significant for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosed at age 30 years and treated to complete remission. The patient had lived in a sunny climate for many years, and his skin was classified type III on the Fitzpatrick Scale.
