Abstract
- Palmoplantar lichen planus is a rare, localized variant of the disease that may create difficulty in diagnosis if it is present as an isolated finding. As palmoplantar lichen planus do not usually have the classically clinical features of lichen planus, a biopsy is very useful. Histopathologic findings are identical to classic lichen planus. According to literature, similar lichen planus may be found elsewhere on the body in palmoplantar lichen planus. We report a case of lichen planus limited to the soles in a 50 year-old female, who presents with erythematous hyperkeratotic crusted pruritic plaques on both soles.
