Linear lichen nitidus: An unusual clinical presentation!
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lichen nitidus (LN) is a rare chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. It predominantly affects children and young adults. Its clinical manifestation typically corresponds to erythematous or flesh-colored, asymptomatic or little pruritic mini papules, often located in the trunk, genitalia, and extremities. The linear arrangement of this dermatosis seems rare. To our knowledge, only 2 cases of linear lichen nitidus have been reported in the literature [1,2]. Our case hence corresponds to the third linear LN case.
