چکیده
Sir, The development of melanocytic lesions following treatment with psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA therapy) is well documented. The first case of lentigines induced by cosmetic UVA tanning was reported in the 1980s (1), and another three cases have been published since then (2 – 5). We report the case of a woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who developed generalized persistent melanocytic lesions while using UVA tanning beds.
