tevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are life-threatening conditions characterized by painful skin detachment and mucosal erosions. Considered an extreme manifestation of a cytotoxic type IV delayed hypersensitivity, the majority of cases report a new drug exposure 1 to 8 weeks before the onset of the rash. 1 Cases of photodistributed TEN have been infrequently described. MethodsWe present a case of TEN with photodistribution in an otherwise healthy individual with known drug exposure. We also conducted a review of the current literature through PubMed using the keywords toxic epidermal necrolysis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, photo-distributed, photo-induced, and sunexposed.
