The involuting lichenoid plaque

A Berman, S Herszenson, R K Winkelmann

    Archives of Dermatology
    |February 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Solitary lichen planus-like keratosis lesions spontaneously involuted within eight weeks. These lesions may represent a stage in the regression of preexisting pigmented macules, possibly due to a cell-mediated rejection.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Solitary lichen planus-like keratosis (LPLK) is a distinct clinicopathologic entity.
    • Understanding the natural history and evolution of LPLK is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Five patients with LPLK lesions exhibited spontaneous involution and regression over four to eight weeks.
    • In four cases, the LPLK lesion developed within a preexisting pigmented macule.
    • The evolution to a plaque-like lesion was associated with the onset of an inflammatory process.

    Findings:

    • The observed involution suggests LPLK may not be an independent entity but rather a phase in the regression of pigmented macules.
    • The inflammatory process in LPLK resembles a delayed hypersensitivity reaction.
    • This reaction is hypothesized to be a cell-mediated rejection phenomenon.

    Implications:

    • LPLK might represent a reactive stage rather than a primary neoplastic or inflammatory condition.
    • Further research into the immunologic mechanisms underlying LPLK could offer new therapeutic insights.
    • This understanding refines the differential diagnosis for pigmented skin lesions.
