This report details a rare case of annular atrophic lichen planus, a skin condition presenting as ring-shaped lesions with central thinning. This adds to the limited documented cases of this specific lichen planus variant.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Lichen planus is a common inflammatory condition affecting skin and mucous membranes.
  • Annular atrophic lichen planus (AALP) is a rare clinical variant.
  • Previous literature includes only four reported cases of AALP.

Observation:

  • This study presents a new case of annular atrophic lichen planus.
  • The patient exhibited characteristic clinical signs of violaceous plaques with annular morphology and central atrophy.
  • Histopathologic examination confirmed the features of annular and atrophic lichen planus.

Findings:

  • The case aligns with the established diagnostic criteria for annular atrophic lichen planus.
  • This presentation contributes to the understanding of the clinical spectrum of lichen planus variants.

  • The rarity of this condition is further emphasized by this additional case.

    • Implications:

    • Increased awareness of this rare variant among clinicians is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • Further research may elucidate the specific pathogenesis and potential treatment strategies for AALP.
    • This case highlights the importance of detailed histopathological correlation in diagnosing rare dermatological conditions.
