Lichen planus is an uncommon disease in children, and only 2 to 3% of affected patients are under twenty years of age. This dermatosis may appear in several clinical forms, which vary according to the morphology and distribution of lesions. In less than 0.2% of all lichen planus cases, the lesions are distributed along the lines of Blaschko, and is a variant called linear lichen planus. This is a case report of a patient aged two years and eight months, who presented keratotic violaceous papules, affecting the abdomen, buttocks and right thigh, distributed along the lines of Blaschko. Histopathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of linear lichen planus.

Objective: The oral mucosa mirrors a range of latent systemic disorders, with potential clinical associations noted between autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and oral lichen planus (OLP). This study aims to explore the genetic relationship and underlying mechanisms mediating these conditions.
Methods: A 2-step Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted to elucidate the genetic relationship and mediating factors between AITD and OLP.
Introduction: Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) is an uncommon variant of lichen planus, characterized by the insidious onset of dark brown to gray pigmented macules, mainly in sun-exposed areas and flexural folds. It is mainly reported in Indian, Latino, American, and Middle Eastern patients. This paper aims to document the clinicopathological characteristics of LPP.

We present the case of a 42-year-old Indian male with prurigo nodularis, exhibiting multiple verrucous, brownish-black nodules on the left lower and right upper extremities, with milder involvement of the right lower extremity. The lesions were asymmetrically distributed in a near-linear pattern, with prominent white hyperkeratosis and associated moderate pruritus and paresthesia. Differential diagnoses included pemphigoid nodularis, verruca vulgaris, and hypertrophic lichen planus, with a biopsy confirming prurigo nodularis.

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) and oral lichen planus (LPO) are chronic inflammatory conditions with similar oral manifestations. This study aimed to assess whether serum and salivary cytokines (IL-1α, IL-6, IL-17) could serve as reliable biomarkers for cGVHD. A prospective cohort study was conducted involving cGVHD patients, LPO patients, and healthy controls.

Our study aimed to establish the basic reliability parameters of direct immunofluorescence test results in patients with oral lichen planus. We conducted an evaluation of individual antibody classes in the DIF and ELISA (BP180 antigen), comparing these results with the classical histopathological (HP) examination in a group of patients treated within the standard healthcare in our clinic. Among 66 participants with oral changes indicative of LP, only 50% received histopathological confirmation of the LP diagnosis.
