- Abstract
- Lichen planus (LP) commonly involves the flexor aspects of the wrists, legs, and oral and genital mucous membranes. But it rarely occurs on the palms and/or soles. It mainly affects people in the age range 30 similar to 60 years. Childhood LP is reported to constitute only 1 similar to 4% of total cases of LP. In the literature, a few cases of LP on the palms and soles of pediatric patients have been reported. Here we report an interesting case of childhood LP with palmoplantar involvement. The patient was a 7-year-old boy who for 6 months had variously sized and shaped, pruritic, violaceous, polygonal papules and plaques on the whole body. The skin biopsy specimens taken from four sites of the patient (dorsum of the hand and foot, sole and chest) showed typical features of LP on histopathology. A diagnosis of generalized LP with palmoplantar involvement was made.
