Prognosis
This report presents 2 cases of primary cutaneous HV-like lymphoma with unusual indolent clinical course and favorable prognosis during the follow-up periods of 2 and 3 years, respectively. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology of the condition is still unknown; there is theory of an abnormal sensitivity to the UVA (Ultraviolet rays type A) radiation in a range of 320 to 390 nm of wavelength. [oxyhives.org]
Pathophysiology The etiology of hydroa vacciniforme (HV) is uncertain. HV may be a distinct entity distinguished by scarring or may occur within the spectrum of polymorphous light eruption. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology
Historical Perspective HVLL reports date back to 1986; [5] however, it is not until 2008 that the WHO recognized HVLL as a separate entity from Hydroa vacciniforme and classified it under "EBV positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders of childhood". [2] Pathophysiology [wikidoc.org]
These entities often pose diagnostic challenges, both clinically and pathologically, and it is important to understand their unique pathophysiology for correct diagnoses and optimal management. [jpatholtm.org]
Pathophysiology The etiology of hydroa vacciniforme (HV) is uncertain. HV may be a distinct entity distinguished by scarring or may occur within the spectrum of polymorphous light eruption. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology Pathophysiology The pathogenesis of HV is not fully understood. Sunlight is required to provoke eruption, and in the temperate climate the onset is usually in spring or summer. [clinicaladvisor.com]
