Lichen aureus is a rare type of chronic pigmented purpuric dermatosis. The eruptions consist of discrete or confluent golden to brownish lichenoid macules and papules, and are usually asymptomatic. Lichen aureus commonly occurs in young adults, but less frequently in children. We report the first case of multiple lichen aureus occurring in a Korean child.

Lichen aureus (also called "lichen purpuricus") is an uncommon subtype of pigmented purpuric dermatosis. Clinically characterized by rust macules, papules or plaques, it is a chronic disease which more often affects young adults and is localized mainly on the lower extremities. The diagnosis is made on the basis of clinical and histopathological features. Dermoscopy findings are useful to confi...

However, some skin tumors and inflammatory disorders may require a biopsy. The patient’s age and relevant clinical history, in addition ...

We show that if K is a compact metrizable space, then the Banach space CpKq has the so-called Blum-Hanson property exactly when K has finitely many accumulation points. We also show that the space `8pNq CpβNq does not have the Blum-Hanson property.
