Background: Lichenoid disorders are often difficult to diagnose clinically. Dermoscopy can act as an alternative technique to skin biopsy for diagnosis of various lichenoid dermatoses. Study aim: To study the correlation of dermoscopic with histopathological findings in various lichenoid dermatoses Methods: Fifty patients with clinical picture of lichenoid dermatoses were examined first under t...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Both the diagnosis and the treatment of lichenoid dermatosis are often difficult and can be time-consuming. There are now more and more publications about the use of laser systems--especially the flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser--in the treatment of inflammatory dermatoses, although the laser's exact mechanism of action in these cases is not yet clear. STUDY DESIGN/...

Lichen planus is a dermatologic disease of unknown etiology characterized by keratotic plaques on the skin. Many patients also harbor white lesions of the oral mucosa. The literature contains numerous reports of lichen planus-like lesions evolving in conjunction with the administration of a variety of pharmacologic agents. It is difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish such lesions from one...

BACKGROUND There are not many studies investigating histomorphological changes in 48 sessions in patients with early-stage MF after narrowband UVB (NBUVB) treatment. Our purpose is to evaluate histological features of phototherapy after 48 sessions and determine which parameters are more reliable for controlling skin biopsies. METHODS Biopsies of 32 patients with early stage of MF, who were t...

A 60-year-old male presented with a solitary, asymptomatic, erythematous annular plaque on the medial portion of his right distal leg. Clinically, the lesion had central atrophy with peripheral hyperpigmentation, elevation and scaling (Figure 1). The differential diagnosis at clinical examination included: granuloma annulare, angular lichen planus, hypertrophic tinea corporis, and pigmented Bow...

introduction: oral lichen planus (olp) is a common mucocutanous disorder with unknown etiology. while current data suggest that oral lichen planus is a cell-mediated autoimmune disease, it might be associated to s+100, cd+4 and cd+8 cells. because of differential diagnosis of olp and oral lichenoid lesion (oll) is usually difficult this study was designed to compare any probable immunohistochem...

Abstract Background In Saudi Arabia, three approved vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (AstraZeneca [AZD1222], Pfizer‐BioNTech [BNT162b2] and [Ad26. COV 2‐S] Moderna vaccine) have been administered to the population. Objective To characterise cutaneous adverse events associated with COVID‐19 vaccines. Methodology We collected information on 26 patients presented tw...
