Area of Science:

Dermatology
Pathology

Background:

Lichen nitidus is a rare inflammatory skin condition.
Perforating dermatoses are characterized by transepidermal elimination of skin components.

Observation:

A second case of lichen nitidus with transepidermal elimination was observed.

Findings:

The observed case supports the phenomenon of transepidermal elimination in lichen nitidus.
This evidence supports classifying lichen nitidus within the group of perforating dermatoses.

Implications:

This finding expands the understanding of lichen nitidus's clinical and pathological spectrum.
It aids in the classification and diagnosis of rare dermatological conditions.
