    Lichen planus (LP) development in patients with severe immunodeficiency suggests a link to immune dysfunction. This highlights the potential role of immune disturbances in LP pathogenesis, warranting further investigation.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunodermatology
    • Pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases

    Background:

    • The precise pathogenic mechanisms underlying lichen planus (LP) are not fully understood.
    • Previous observations suggest associations between LP and various immune system disorders.

    Observation:

    • This report details two patients with severe immunodeficiency diseases, specifically hypogammaglobulinemia and compromised immune function, who subsequently developed LP.
    • The onset of LP occurred during the course of their underlying immune deficiencies.

    Findings:

    • The development of LP in these immunocompromised patients suggests a potential link between LP and underlying immune disturbances.
    • Supporting evidence includes immunoglobulin deposition in LP lesions, a T-cell predominant dermal infiltrate, and similarities to graft-versus-host disease.

    Implications:

    • These findings suggest that immune dysregulation may play a significant role in the pathogenesis of lichen planus.
    • Further research into the immunopathogenic mechanisms of LP is warranted, particularly in the context of immune deficiencies.
