Lichen planus pigmentosus is a rare subtype of lichen planus. We report a first case of lichen planus pigmentosus with bilateral linear distribution associated with hepatitis C virus infection. The lesion was improved after sun avoidance and treatment of hepatitis C virus infection with a combination of interferon and ribavirin. This case stresses the importance of screening for hepatitis C virus infection as lichen planus pigmentosus can be an associated condition.
色素性扁平苔藓是扁平苔藓的一种罕见亚型。我们报告了首例双侧线状分布的色素性扁平苔藓病例，该病例与丙型肝炎病毒感染相关。在避免日晒并使用干扰素和利巴韦林联合治疗丙型肝炎病毒感染后，皮损有所改善。该病例强调了筛查丙型肝炎病毒感染的重要性，因为色素性扁平苔藓可能是一种相关疾病。
