Summary

Linear lichen planus (LP) is a rare skin condition presenting as linear papules. This case highlights a unique presentation of unilateral linear LP, later developing into typical oral lichen planus.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Lichen planus (LP) is an inflammatory condition affecting skin and mucous membranes.
  • Linear lichen planus (LP) is a rare variant characterized by lesions in a linear pattern, sometimes following Blaschko lines.

Observation:

  • A 33-year-old woman presented with a 4-month history of pruritic, unilateral, linear papular lesions on her neck.
  • These neck lesions were clinically and histologically consistent with linear LP.
  • Subsequently, she developed typical oral LP with white, lacy lesions on the left side of her tongue and buccal mucosa.

Findings:

  • The patient's presentation of unilateral linear papules on the neck mimicked lichen striatus or lichenoid epidermal nevus.
  • Histological examination and the development of oral LP confirmed the diagnosis of linear LP with unilateral restriction.

Related Experiment Videos

  • This case underscores the rare unilateral presentation of linear LP.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of the clinical spectrum of linear lichen planus.
    • It emphasizes the importance of considering linear LP in the differential diagnosis of unilateral linear dermatoses.
    • The unilateral restriction observed in this case may offer insights into the pathogenesis of linear LP.
