    A patient with ulcerative colitis developed an unusual skin condition, lichen planus. The condition worsened with colitis flare-ups, suggesting a potential link between these two distinct diseases.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Dermatology
    • Immunodermatology

    Background:

    • Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
    • Lichen planus is an inflammatory condition affecting skin and mucous membranes.
    • The potential association between UC and lichen planus remains an area of investigation.

    Observation:

    • A patient with a history of ulcerative colitis presented with atypical lichen planus.
    • Discontinuation of sulphasalazine treatment did not lead to resolution of the lichen planus.
    • The lichen planus lesions became more extensive following an exacerbation of ulcerative colitis.

    Findings:

    • The clinical course of lichen planus in this patient was closely linked to UC activity.
    • The atypical lichen planus did not respond to withdrawal of sulphasalazine, suggesting a mechanism beyond drug reaction.

  • The exacerbation of UC correlated with the progression of lichen planus.

    • Implications:

    • This case provides further evidence supporting a potential association between ulcerative colitis and lichen planus.
    • The findings may prompt further research into the pathogenetic mechanisms linking IBD and certain dermatoses.
    • Understanding this association could lead to improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for patients with co-occurring UC and lichen planus.
