Abstract
Background:
The histology of lichen nitidus has been described previously but a follicular variant has not been emphasized.
Method:
We report a case of lichen nitidus with periappendageal inflammation resulting in histologic similarities to lichen striatus.
Results:
This case extends the spectrum of histologic findings in lichen nitidus and shows overlap in the distribution of the inflammatory infiltrate in lichen nitidus and lichen striatus.
