Abstract

Linear lichen planus (LLP) is a rare variant of lichen planus that is characterized by lichenoid, pruritic, violaceous papules, arranging in a linear pattern. When lichen planus is localized in a dermatomal pattern or Blaschcoid lines, incorrect nomenclature has been used and mistakes have been made in terminology. It should be known that there is not a dermatomal arrangement; however, Blaschko lines have been followed in the definition of linear lichen planus. We should avoid the zosteriform term when there is not a previous story of herpes zoster infection. Here we present a case of 40-year-old man that has lesions in two different Blaschko lines and investigate this complexity in terminology. J Clin Exp Invest 2013; 4 (4): 529-531

Abstract

Lineer liken planus (LLP), liken planusun lineer dizilmiş, kaşıntılı, likenoid görünümlü, violese renkli papüller ile karakterize nadir bir varyantıdır. Liken planus\'da dermatomal ya da Blaschko çizgilerine uygun yerleşim olduğunda yanlış adlandırmalar, terminolojide hatalar olmaktadır. LLP denildiğinde dermatomal bir düzenlenmenin olmadığını, ancak Blaschko çizgilerinin takip edildiğinin bilinmesi gerekmektedir. O bölgede geçirilmiş zona enfeksiyonu olmadığında, sıklıkla zosteriform olarak ifade edilen adlandırmadan kaçınılması gerektiği önerilmektedir. Burada iki farklı Blaschko hattında lezyonları olan 40 yaşında lineer liken planuslu olgu sunularak terminolojideki bu karmaşa tekrar irdelenecektir.
