We report the case of an 82-year-old woman with a 6-year history of erosive palmoplantar lichen planus associated with eccrine syringofibroadenoma (ESFA). Examination revealed a well-demarcated patche writish of reticulated whitish papular lesions in skin of otherwise normal appearance at the border of erosive lichen planus plaques. These lesions had the histological appearance of ESFA. We suggest that these lesions are induced by the inflammatory remodelling associated with erosive lichen planus and propose to consider ESFA in the context of skin tissue remodelling as a new subtype of ESFA.

Vulvar lichen planus (VLP) is a rare mucocutaneous disorder with significant impacts on quality of life and a potential risk of malignancy. Comprehensive data on its clinical features and treatment outcomes remain limited. To analyze the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with VLP and to evaluate the efficacy of current therapeutic approaches.

Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA) is a primary lymphocytic cicatricial alopecia predominantly affecting postmenopausal Caucasian women. It is characterized by a progressive frontotemporal hairline recession that presents as a scarring hairless band and is often accompanied by eyebrow and body hair loss. Although initially described in postmenopausal women, FFA has been observed in a broader demographic, including premenopausal women and occasionally men.

Background: Oral lichen planus (OLP) and oral lichenoid lesions (OLL) are common chronic inflammatory diseases associated with malignant transformation. Risk factors associated with malignant transformation of OLP and OLL are not well defined.
Methods: A retrospective chart review assessed risk factors for progression of OLP and OLL to oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) or oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) at a tertiary care centre in Toronto, Canada.

Colophony is a solid form of resin derived from coniferous trees that has both adhesive and water-resistant properties. For these reasons, this allergen is incorporated into many personal care products, medications, and occupational materials, and is thus commonly implicated in allergic contact dermatitis. Dedicated "dental" allergen series often include colophony, but dermatologists are likely not well-versed on its use in a dental setting.

Few studies discuss the co-management of vitiligo and acquired hyperpigmentation disorders (AHD) such as melasma, erythema dyschromicum perstans, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, drug-induced hyperpigmentation, and lichen planus pigmentosus. This review discusses clinical studies examining co-management strategies and identifies current practice gaps. Dermatology Life Quality Index scores are higher in individuals with vitiligo or melasma.
