Fifty-one Kenyan patients with variable round plaques on the exposed parts, predominantly on the face, and characterized by central hyperpigmentation with annular hypopigmented borders, are described. The clinical and histological picture showed transitions, which ranged from lichen planus and lichenoid poikilodermatous syndromes to dermatitis. This syndrome corresponds largely with (sub-)tropical or actinic lichen planus as reported from the Middle East, where emphasis has been given mainly to a part of the described spectrum of transitions. We suggest that this syndrome should be considered as one of Pinkus' regional lichenoid syndromes which represent hybrids between lichen planus and other conditions rather than as a mere variant of lichen planus.
本文描述了51例肯尼亚患者，其暴露部位出现大小不一的圆形斑块，主要分布于面部，特征为中央色素沉着，周边有环状色素减退边界。临床和组织学表现呈现出从扁平苔藓、苔藓样异色性皮病综合征到皮炎的过渡。该综合征在很大程度上与中东地区报道的（亚）热带或光化性扁平苔藓相符，中东地区主要关注的是所描述的部分过渡谱系。我们建议将该综合征视为平库斯（Pinkus）区域性苔藓样综合征之一，这类综合征代表了扁平苔藓与其他病症之间的混合体，而非仅仅是扁平苔藓的一个变种。
