Abstract
- Lichenoid drug eruption is lichenoid skin eruptions caused by certain drugs and compounds, and can be similar to lichenoid planus. A 59-year-old man who had taken antituberculosis drugs(Isoniazid, Rifampin, Ethambutol, Pyrazinamide) for 2months developed pruritic erythematous papules and plaques with silvery scales on the face, trunk and extremities. Histopathologic findings were hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, hypergranulosis, band like lymphohistiocytic infiltration in the upper dermis and perivascular lymphohistiocytic infiltration in the deep dermis. He was treated with antihistamines and topical corticosteroid and then skin lesions slightly improved. 1 month after the termination of antituberculosis medication, skin lesions improved leaving hyperpigmentation.
