Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Lichen planus (LP) is an inflammatory condition affecting skin and mucous membranes.
  • Linear lichen planus (LLP) is a rare variant of LP characterized by a linear arrangement of lesions.

Observation:

  • A 50-year-old male presented with pruritic, linear, violaceous papules on the right side of his jaw.
  • The lesions followed a linear distribution, consistent with Blaschko lines.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination of a biopsy specimen confirmed the typical features of lichen planus.
  • The clinical presentation and biopsy results led to the diagnosis of linear lichen planus.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of recognizing the clinical variants of lichen planus.
  • Understanding the characteristic linear distribution aids in diagnosing rare presentations like LLP.
