Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Dermatology & Research (IJCDR) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Annular lichen planus is an uncommon clinical variant of lichen planus. Characteristics include an annular configuration associated with a narrow rim of erythema and inflammation and a depressed center. There is a tendency toward central clearing. We present an illustrative case of annular lichen planus in an 82-year-old woman.
