- Abstract
The article reports about spreading pigmented actinic keratoses. The common type of actinic keratosis is yellow-brown in colour, possesses an adherent scale and is less than 1 cm in diameter, with little tendency to continuing centrifugal spread. The authors have recently seen ten lesions arising on the face, which were large, flat and pigmented and in six cases had led the clinician to diagnose Hutchinson's malignant lentigo. Histology showed all to be pigmented actinic keratoses. The spreading pigmented type of actinic keratosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pigmented lesions of the face. Clinically, it may be difficult to distinguish from a Hutchinson's malignant lentigo.
