    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pediatric Dermatology
    • Oral Medicine

    Background:

    • Lichen planus frequently involves skin and mucous membranes.
    • Nail involvement in lichen planus is common but typically occurs alongside other sites.
    • Isolated nail lichen planus is an uncommon presentation.

    Observation:

    • A 10-year-old boy presented with symptoms exclusively affecting his nails.
    • No concurrent skin or oral mucosal lesions of lichen planus were noted.
    • The clinical presentation strongly suggested a diagnosis of lichen planus.

    Findings:

    • The case report details lichen planus limited solely to the fingernails and toenails.
    • This presentation underscores the possibility of nail-only manifestation of lichen planus.
    • Diagnostic confirmation involved clinical assessment and potentially histopathology (details not provided in abstract).

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering isolated nail lichen planus in pediatric patients.
    • Emphasizes the need for thorough nail examination in suspected cases.
    • Contributes to understanding the varied clinical spectrum of lichen planus in children.
