Linear Lichen Planus, A Report of Two Cases

Abstract

Linear lichen planus (LLP) is one of the rare variants of lichen planus characterized by linear distributed, pruritic, purple, lichenoid papules. Although linear lesions may be appear after the trauma (Koebner phenomenon), they have been reported zosteriform on the healed herpes infection area as the Wolf isotopic response. However, lesions appear spontaneously, and usually localize unilaterally, and Blaschkoid or zosteriform in LLP.We describe here two cases of eruptive linear lichen planus with review of the literature because of the rarity of this disease.

Lineer Liken Planus, İki Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Lineer liken planus (LLP), liken planusun lineer dizilmiş, kaşıntılı, likenoid görünümlü, violese renkli papüller ile karakterize nadir bir varyantıdır. Liken planusta lineer lezyonlar, yaygın erupsiyonların bir parçası olarak travma sonrası (Köbner fenomeni) görülebileceği gibi, Wolf'un izotopik yanıtı olarak geçirilmiş herpes enfeksiyonunun üzerinde zosteriform şekilde de bildirilmiştir. Ancak, LLP'ta lezyonlar spontan olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır ve genellikle Blaschko çizgilerine uygun ya da zosteriform şekilde, tek taraflı yerleşmektedir.Burada LLP'lu iki olguyu nadir görülmesi nedeniyle literatür eşliğinde sunmayı uygun bulduk.
