BACKGROUND: @entity16392 ( @entity16392 ) is a group of @entity74 characterized by diminished pigmentation of the skin, hair and eyes. Individuals with @entity16392 are at increased risk to develop sun-induced @entity272 . The incidence of @entity320 in @entity16392 individuals is, however, very low. The aim of this study was to document pigmented and @entity272 occurring in @entity1 with @entity16392 . METHODS: A prospective study was performed. Sixteen @entity1 with @entity16392 presenting at the Oncology and Dermatology Departments at Universitas Academic Hospital Annex in Bloemfontein, South Africa, were included. Selected clinically pigmented and/or melanocytic lesions were biopsied and studied by light microscopy. RESULTS: Twenty-four punch biopsies were taken. Ten dendritic freckles and 10 @entity8205 were confirmed histologically. The nevi, which occurred in eight @entity1 , were found on sun-protected skin. All the freckles occurred on sun-exposed skin. Twelve @entity1 had current or previous @entity272 . No @entity320 were present in the study population. Other @entity272 ranged from solar keratoses to @entity957 . CONCLUSION: The majority of @entity66 were dendritic freckles that occurred on sun-exposed skin. None of the @entity1 had a current or previous diagnosis of @entity320 .

A histopathological study of melanocytic and XXXX in @entity1 with albinism.
