Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) is a rare form of lichen planus that typically affects middle-aged people with darker-pigmented skin. LPP is associated with a longer clinical course than classical lichen planus, which distinguishes it clinically. Its occurrence in children is uncommon, with few reported cases in this population in the literature. We report a rare presentation of unilateral blaschkoid LPP in a seven-year-old Saudi Arabian female patient.
色素性扁平苔藓(LPP)是扁平苔藓的一种罕见形式,通常影响皮肤色素较深的中年人。与经典扁平苔藓相比,LPP的临床病程更长,这在临床上使其有别于经典扁平苔藓。它在儿童中并不常见,文献中报道的该人群病例很少。我们报告了一名7岁沙特阿拉伯女性患者罕见的单侧线状色素性扁平苔藓表现。
