Lichen planus is a benign, inflammatory and itchy dermatosis that is incurred by skin, skin extensions and mucosa. Lichen planus rarely show palmoplantar involvement. Since stratum corneum in palmoplantar lichen planus is extremely thick, lesions can be yellow colored instead of the purple colored papules that are classic lesions. Clinically, it might be confused with psoriasis, secondary syphilis, verruca vulgaris, hyperkeratotic eczema, palmoplantar keratodermas, hyperkeratotic type tinea pedis and xanthomas. In this report, four lichen planus cases were presented who represented palmoplantar involvement.

Öz

Liken planus deri, deri eklentileri ve mukozayı tutan selim, yangısal ve kaşıntılı bir dermatozdur. Liken planus nadiren palmoplanter tutulum gösterir. Plamoplanter liken planusda stratum corneum çok kalın olduğu için bu bölgedeki lezyonlar klasik erguvani görünüm yerine sarı renkte olabilir. Klinik olarak psoriasis, sekonder sifiliz, siğil, hiperkeratotik egzema, palmoplanter keratoderma, hiperkeratotik tinea pedis ve ksantomalar ile karıştırılabilir. Bu raporda, palmoplantar tutulum gösteren dört liken planus olgusu sunulmuştur.
