Actinic lichen nitidus (LN) presents with lesions on sun-exposed skin. This study proposes actinic LN as a new clinical variant based on two pediatric cases with typical histological findings.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pediatric Dermatology
  • Histopathology

Background:

  • Lichen nitidus (LN) is a rare inflammatory skin condition with several recognized clinical variants.
  • The typical presentation involves small, flesh-colored papules, often on the trunk and extremities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel clinical variant of lichen nitidus.
  • To characterize the clinical and histological features of lichen nitidus occurring on sun-exposed areas in children.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of two pediatric patients diagnosed with lichen nitidus.
  • Clinical examination focusing on lesion distribution.
  • Histopathological analysis of skin biopsies to confirm the diagnosis of lichen nitidus.

Main Results:

  • Two children presented with lichen nitidus lesions predominantly on sun-exposed areas.
  • Histological examination revealed typical features consistent with lichen nitidus in both cases.
  • The distribution pattern on sun-exposed skin suggests a potential role for actinic factors.

Conclusions:

  • The findings suggest a distinct clinical variant of lichen nitidus, termed actinic lichen nitidus.
  • Actinic lichen nitidus should be considered in the differential diagnosis of papular eruptions on sun-exposed skin in children.
  • Further research is warranted to confirm the prevalence and characteristics of this proposed variant.
