DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Circumscribed, solar precancerous damage to the skin of fair-skinned, light-sensitive people caused by chronic cumulative exposure to light (> 10 to 60 years).

Actinic keratoses are so-called precanceroses, i.e. non-invasive, early (in situ) squamous cell carcinomas. This view is underlined by new names such as SCC of the actinic keratosis type (squamous cell carcinoma in situ) or KIN (keratinocytic intraepidermal neoplasia).

Clinical featuresThis section has been translated automatically.

Histological features of lichen planus with acanthosis, hypergranulosis and orthohyperkeratosis as well as lichenoid round cell infiltrate in the upper corium.
