A Case of Unilateral Zosteriform Lichen Planus
Abstract
- A 44 year-old male without a specific past history demonstrated violaceous colored. angulated flat papules in a zosteriform arrangement along the medial aspect of left arm and upper anterior chest for 3 months. In addition, whitish patches with a lace-like pattern were seen on the buccal mucosa. The histopathologic findings were characteristic of lichen planus. The zosteriform lichen planus is a rare variant of lichen planus, Especially, it has been rarely observed in cases that developed without a previous history of herpes zoster or factors that lead to the Koebner phenoinenon In this context, it piqued our scientific curiousity enough to investigate it.
