Segmental Lichen Aureus: A Case Report
Journal Title: Dermatology – Open Journal - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Lichen Aureus (LA) is a rare asymptomatic dermatosis of unknown etiology which is classified under the group of Pigmented Purpuric Dermatosis (PPD). It is characterized by solitary or scant grouped macules or lichenoid papules, more common on the lower part of the legs, and typically very persistent. Histologically, the epidermis is normal, with a lymphohistiocytic band like infiltrate with extravasated blood red cells and hemosiderin deposits observed in the dermis.1-4 A segmental or zosteriform pattern has been rarely described.5,6 The aim of our study was to evaluate the clinicopathologic features of LA with segmental presentation.
