Association of Lichen Nitidus with palmar pitting: A case report
Authors
Abstract:
Lichen nitidus is an uncommon skin condition that is clinically characterized by the presence of pinpoint papules, which are usually asymptomatic, flesh colored, with a flat, shiny surface. The histopathologic feature of it is characteristic. We report a 30-year-old man with typical skin lesions of lichen nitidus confirmed with histopathology, who also had multiple palmar pits. Treatment with topical clobetasol propionate resulted in great improvement, flattening of palmar lesions and clearance of the forearn and wrist lesions. To our knowledge, the association of lichen nitidus with palmar pitting has not been reported before.

Although lichen planus and vitiligo are common skin disorders, their association with two other uncommon diseases, i.e. lichen sclerosus et atrophicus and disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis, seems to be a very rare occurrence. We report herein a 70-year-old man who developed all of these four skin disorders simultaneously.
