Abstract
- Lichen planus is a lichenoid disorder characterized by shiny, flat topped papules. In addition to the classical appearance, there are several variants. Zosteriform lichen planus is a rare variant of lichen planus, which can be differentiated from linear lichen planus by not linear, but zosteriform distriburion. We herein present a case of zosteriform lichen planus in a 28-year-old man with pruritic, grouped, erythematous to brownish papules in zosteriform arrangement on the right flank for 4 months. He had no history of any previous skin disease.
