    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Histopathology

    Background:

    • Pigmented and purpuric eruptions represent a diverse group of dermatological conditions.
    • Lichen aureus is an exceptionally rare variant within this category, often presenting diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A case of lichen aureus is presented in a 21-year-old male with lesions localized to the lower extremities.
    • The patient exhibited characteristic lichenoid papules and plaques, indicative of this rare dermatosis.

    Findings:

    • The clinical morphology of lichen aureus involves pigmented, purpuric papules and plaques.
    • Histopathological examination reveals specific features that aid in distinguishing lichen aureus from other similar eruptions.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the clinical and histological features of lichen aureus is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
  • This case contributes to the limited literature on lichen aureus, enhancing awareness of rare pigmented purpuric eruptions.
