Nail lichen striatus (LS) is a rare condition. This report details a case in a 13-year-old boy, highlighting key diagnostic features for this uncommon presentation.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pediatric Dermatology
  • Nail Diseases

Background:

  • Lichen striatus (LS) is an uncommon inflammatory condition typically affecting the skin.
  • Nail involvement in lichen striatus is considered rare, making its diagnosis challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of lichen striatus manifesting with nail changes in a pediatric patient.
  • To delineate specific clinical indicators for diagnosing nail lichen striatus.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 13-year-old male with lichen striatus.
  • Clinical examination focusing on nail morphology and associated dermatological findings.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with longitudinal ridges and splitting localized to a specific nail portion.

  • The nail changes were associated with the presence of skin lesions near the affected nail.
  • This represents a rare instance of nail lichen striatus.

    • Conclusions:

    • Nail lichen striatus should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric nail abnormalities.
    • Key diagnostic features include localized longitudinal nail changes, single nail involvement, and adjacent skin lesions.
