Summary
Benign lichenoid keratosis, a skin condition, can appear as well-defined plaques. These lesions may resolve naturally after removing the causative pressure.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Histopathology
Background:
- Keratotic plaques can present in various dermatological conditions.
- Understanding the etiology of skin lesions is crucial for diagnosis and management.
Observation:
- The case describes two symmetrical, well-circumscribed keratotic plaques on the buttocks of an elderly male.
- Clinical examination revealed features consistent with benign lichenoid keratosis.
Findings:
- Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of benign lichenoid keratosis.
- The lesions were likely caused by constant pressure and showed regression upon its removal.
Implications:
- This case highlights the potential for pressure-induced benign lichenoid keratosis.
- Identifying and eliminating pressure can lead to the resolution of such skin lesions.
