Lichen planus pemphigoides: A case report
Authors
Abstract:
Lichen planus pemphigoides (LPP) is a rare autoimmune blistering disease that is characterized by the development of vesico-bullous skin lesions in patients with lichen planus. The histopathology of LPP reveals a sub_epidermal blister with linear deposition of IgG and /or C3 along the dermal_epidermal junction (DEJ) upon direct immunofluorescence (DIF). We hereunder describe a case of lichen planus pemphigoides in a 69-year-old otherwise healthy male who initially presented with typical lesions of lichen planus (LP), predominantly on the lower extremities; then, bullous lesions developed on the normal skin.

Vulvar lichen planus pemphigoides☆☆☆
Lichen planus pemphigoides (LPP) is a rare blistering disease with features of both lichen planus and bullous pemphigoid. LPP typically appears on the extremities and occasionally involves the oral mucosa. Herein, we describe a case of LPP of the vulva of an 80-year-old woman, an uncommon location for this disease process. This clinical scenario can be confused with a number of similarly appear...
full textLichen Planus Pemphigoides Induced by Enalapril: A Case Report and a Review of Literature
Lichen planus pemphigoides (LPP) is a rare autoimmune bullous dermatosis. The clinical presentation of LPP may mimic bullous pemphigoid making the diagnosis difficult. A thorough clinical, histopathological, and immunological evaluation is essential for the diagnosis of LPP. The etiology is largely idiopathic; however, there are several case reports of drug-induced LPP. We report an 81-year-old...

Lichen planus (LP) is a common disorder in which auto-cytotoxic T lymphocytes trigger apoptosis of epithelial cells leading to chronic inflammation. Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) can be a source of severe morbidity and has a small potential to be malignant. The diagnosis of OLP can be made from the clinical features if they are sufficiently characterized, but biopsy is recommended to confirm the dia...

Lichen planus pemphigoides (LPP) is a rare condition characterized by tense blisters that arise on lesions of lichen planus (LP) and on unaffected skin. We present the case of a 25-year-old pregnant woman at 12 weeks' gestation who developed an acute bullous eruption after 5 months of worsening LP. Similarities to pemphigoid gestationis (PG) included lesions around the periumbilical area and mu...

is characterized by symmetrical hypertrophic plaques, usually located on the pretibial or perimalleolar regions (4, 5). Th e disease has a chronic course, and it is often resistant to treatment. Upon remission, scarring, hypo-or hyperpigmentation may follow (7, 11). Th is paper presents a patient with a giant form of verrucous lichen planus on the lower extremities, with favorable results after...
full textActinic Lichen Planus mimicking Melasma: A case report
Actinic lichen planus is a clinical variant of lichen planus, involving mainly sun-exposed areas and manifested as annular lesions with a pigmented center surrounded by a hypopigmented zone. A rare presentation of actinic lichen planus mimics melasma but have distinctive histopathologic picture in favour of actinic lichen planus. Herein, we report a 14-year-old boy who presented with a me...
