Abstract
|
|
|
|
Lichen planus is an unique, common inflammatory disorder that affects the skin, mucous membranes, nails and hair. Oral lichen planus is among the more common mucosal conditions with an unknown etiology. Lichen nitidus is an uncommon, usually asymptomatic cutaneous eruption that is characterized by the presence of multiple, small, flesh colored papules. Perforation in lichen nitidus is a rare phenomenon. Lichen nitidus is distinguished from lichen planus on both clinical and histologic grounds. However, the possibility that lichen nitidus represents a micropapular variant of lichen planus has never been definitively excluded. Herein, we report on a case of perforating lichen nitidus associated with oral lichen planus.
