    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Two patients with actinic lichen planus were reported. This condition, potentially triggered by light, is better described as actinic lichen planus rather than lichen planus tropicus due to its occurrence in temperate climates.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Cutaneous Medicine

    Background:

    • Lichen planus actinicus is a skin condition.
    • The term 'actinicus' is proposed as more accurate than 'tropicus'.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of lichen planus actinicus were observed.
    • The condition was noted in Italy, a temperate climate.

    Findings:

    • The etiology of lichen planus actinicus remains unclear.
    • Light exposure may function as a triggering factor for this condition.

    Implications:

    • This case report suggests a re-evaluation of terminology for sun-induced dermatoses.
    • Further research into the role of light in lichen planus actinicus is warranted.
