Annular lichenoid dermatosis of youth is a recently described skin disease with particular clinicopathological features. It has been so far described in 35 patients, all of whom (but one) were white. We report here the first case of annular lichenoid dermatosis of youth in a Japanese patient, who is the youngest reported with this diagnosis, and briefly review the salient clinicopathological features of this condition. Our observation shows that annular lichenoid dermatosis of youth can also affect Japanese patients; therefore, Japanese dermatologists should be aware of this particular dermatosis.
青年环状扁平苔藓样皮肤病是一种新近描述的具有特殊临床病理特征的皮肤病。迄今为止，已在 35 例患者中描述了这种疾病，其中除 1 例以外均为白人。我们在此报告首例日本患者的青年环状扁平苔藓样皮肤病病例，这是迄今为止报告的最年轻病例，并简要回顾了该疾病的显著临床病理特征。我们的观察表明，青年环状扁平苔藓样皮肤病也可能影响日本患者；因此，日本皮肤科医生应该意识到这种特殊的皮肤病。
