A 95-year-old woman presented with a 4-month history of a pruritic eruption involving her trunk, medial thighs, and lesions limited to the C5 dermatome of the left upper extremity. Punch biopsy supported a clinical diagnosis of zosteriform lichen planus. Linear lichen planus refers to lichen planus with a unilateral linear distribution. This variant may present as an example of the Wolf isotopic response, or more rarely, a de novo eruption on previously-normal skin. In very rare instances linear lichen planus presents in a segmental fashion corresponding to a dermatome and is termed zosteriform lichen planus.
一名95岁女性，躯干、大腿内侧及左侧上肢C5皮节出现瘙痒性皮疹4个月。皮肤活检支持临床诊断为带状扁平苔藓。线状扁平苔藓是指呈单侧线状分布的扁平苔藓。这种变体可能是Wolf同形反应的一个例子，或者更罕见的是，在先前正常的皮肤上出现的新发皮疹。在极少数情况下，线状扁平苔藓呈节段性分布，对应于一个皮节，称为带状扁平苔藓。
