Lichen nitidus is an uncommon idiopathic chronic dermatosis characterized by minute, flesh-colored or hypopigmented, shiny papules commonly occurring on the abdomen, chest, genitalia, and extremities. The disorder is most often localized but, rarely, can become extensive or generalized. The occurrence of lichen nitidus during infancy is extremely rare. A perusal of the English literature revealed but two cases. We report two identical twins with lesions of generalized lichen nitidus noted at two months of age. The familial occurrence of lichen nitidus suggests that a genetic factor may be operative.
光泽苔藓是一种罕见的特发性慢性皮肤病，其特征为微小的、肉色或色素减退的、有光泽的丘疹，常见于腹部、胸部、生殖器和四肢。这种疾病通常局限，但很少会广泛或全身性发作。婴儿期出现光泽苔藓极为罕见。查阅英文文献仅发现两例。我们报告了一对同卵双胞胎，在两个月大时出现了全身性光泽苔藓病变。光泽苔藓的家族性发病提示可能存在遗传因素。
