Isoradiotopic response of lichen planus after radiotherapy of the breast

چکیده
INTRODUCTION Isoradiotopic responses were first described in 2004 by Shurman et al as the development of unrelated dermatoses within previously irradiated skin. Several case reports describe development of auto-antibodyemediated diseases in the radiation treatment field including bullous pemphigoid and pemphigus vulgaris. To our knowledge, only 5 cases of postradiotherapy LP have been reported since 2002. We present a case of postradiotherapy LP that was localized to the radiation treatment field with subsequent generalization to a distant site in a patient with no history of LP.
