case_images: (a) A 29-year-old man had hypopigmented, finely wrinkle, slightly scaly patches without telangiectasia or induration on bilateral forearm and trunk. (b) Similar lesions on thigh bilaterally. (A) Before therapy and (B) complete clinical response after 30 sessions of PUVA (patient 2).

case_images: PUVA showed CR in patient 2 (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)).
case_images: (a) A 30-year-old woman had hypopigmented patches on sunlight covered body sites. Note these patches extend to neck and (b) breast which is less likely in progressive macular hypomelanosis. (A) before therapy (B) showing almost complete clinical response after 40 sessions of narrow-band UVB. Note some hypopigmented lesions persist under the chin and neck (patient 4).

case_images: Narrow-band UVB showed CR in patients 1 and 4 (Figures 4(a) and 4(b)), and PR in patient 5 (Figure 5) within 30-48 sessions.
case_images: A 29-year-old woman showing hypopigmented skin patches on thigh after 32 sessions of narrow band-UVB therapy (patient 5).

case_images: Narrow-band UVB showed CR in patients 1 and 4 (Figures 4(a) and 4(b)), and PR in patient 5 (Figure 5) within 30-48 sessions.
case_images: (a) The skin biopsy from buttocks (patient 3) shows extensive epidermal changes with marked epidermotrophism of lymphocytes (Hematoxylin-eosin stain, original magnification x100). (b) Greater magnification highlights atypical lymphocytes and formation of numerous (>3) Pautrier's microabscesses (H&E stain, 400x).

case_images: Three cases (patients 1, 3, and 5) showed extensive changes with marked epidermotrophism of atypical lymphocytes and formation of numerous (>3) Pautrier's microabscesses (Figures 6(a) and 6(b)).
case_images: Atypical lymphocytes showing epidermotropism and formation of Pautrier's microabscesses (H&E stain, 400x) (patient 2).

case_images: The epidermal changes in other two were not so extensive with formation of at least one microabscess (Figures 7 and 8).
