Photo-recall of sunburn induced by radiation therapy 50 years later.   
ABSTRACT
A patient is described whose foolish sunbathing practices during adolescence predisposed her to an intense and unpleasant skin reaction during the course of radiation therapy approximately 50 years later. The phenomenon suggests that solar-induced changes in the skin can persist over a very long period of time and emphasizes the need for light-skinned individuals to protect their skin from the intense rays of the sun.
