Abstract
We describe a patient with chronic actinic dermatitis that occurred with the progress of adult T-cell leukemia. Immunohistochemically, CD8 + T cells, but not CD4 + cells, predominantly infiltrated the lichenoid lesional skin, indicating that the eruption was induced by reactive, normal CD8 + T cells but not adult T-cell leukemia cells. Our patient suggests that chronic actinic dermatitis may occur in association with the advanced human T-lymphotrophic virus-I infectious disorder.
