Abstract
Liken aureus, genellikle genç yetişkinleri etkileyen ve çoğunlukla alt ekstremiteye lokalize nadir bir pigmente purpurik dermatoz varyantıdır. Bu vaka sunumunda, sağ bacağında 1 yıldır, soliter açık kahverengi yama şeklinde bir lezyon bulunan 31 yaşında bir kadın hasta sunuyoruz. Lezyonun ‘punch’ biyopsisinde, papiller dermiste lenfohistiyositik bant benzeri infiltrasyon, eritrosit ekstravazasyonu ve hemosiderin birikimi görüldü. Klinikopatolojik bulgulara dayanarak, liken aureus tanısı kondu. Bu teşhisi destekleyen dermoskopik bulgular, arka planda kahverengimsi sarı yaygın renk değişikliği, yuvarlak-oval kırmızı dot’lar, globüller yamalar ve kıvrımlı kırmızı halkalardı. Burada, klinik ve histopatolojik özelliklerle liken aureus tanısı alan 31 yaşındaki kadın hastanın dermoskopik bulgularını sunuyoruz.

Abstract
Lichen aureus is a rare variant of pigmented purpuric dermatosis, which often affects young adults and is localized mainly on the lower extremities. We present here a 31-year-old female who had a solitary golden-brown-color patch on her right leg for 1 year. Punch biopsy of the lesion revealed lymphohistiocytic band-like infiltrate of the papillary dermis with erythrocyte extravasation and hemosiderin deposits. The diagnosis of Lichen aureus was made based on clinicopathologic findings. The dermoscopic findings that support this diagnosis were brownish yellow diffuse coloration of the background, round to oval red dots, globules and patches and twisted red loops. Herein, we present the dermoscopic findings of a 31-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of lichen aureus established with clinical and histopathological features.
