Abstract: Lichen aureus is a rare variant of pigmented purpura, with a chronic and benign course. It is generally asymptomatic and often occurs in the lower limbs, presenting as erythematous brownish, coppery or golden macules and/or papules. The diagnosis is based on clinical and histopathological findings. The dermatoscopic pattern has been considered a useful tool in diagnosis presumption. We describe a case with a confluent morphological pattern, called agminate lichen aureus.

“…After treatment, the rashes was obviously grew stale, no new rash was seen. Furthermore, for localized lesions, a surgical resection and biopsy, followed by pulsed light treatment of the residual lesion can almost completely eliminate the lesions (Tortelly, Silva, Mota, & Pineiro‐Maceira, ). To date, only a single report has described the successful treatment of an LA case with 595 nm wavelength pulsed‐dye laser (PDL) with no serious adverse events or recurrence.…”

“…Initially described as lichen purpuricus by Martin et al in 1958 and classified as a a form of pigmented purpuric dermatoses, the lesion was termed lichen aureus only in 1960 by Calnan. 2 , 4 Based on its clinical morphology, lichen aureus is classified as a lichenoid eruption of confluent violaceous papules or delimited pigmented plaques, erythematous-ferruginous or purpuric in color of varying sizes. The lesions are asymptomatic in most cases.…”

“…3,4 Usually lesions are bilateral, painless, although there are reports of unilateral, painful, zosteriform manifestations that become confluent, called agminate lichen aureus. 5 It localizes preferentially to the lower limbs, although it can also affect the arms, hands and dorso. Generally it affects young adults and less frequently children.…”
