“…Furthermore, ALP may present with striking central atrophy, which is typically classified as annular atrophic lichen planus [2]. A retrospective review of 20 patients identified the distribution and presentation of annular lichen planus and found that the morphology typically included violaceous plaques with an annular configuration and a narrow rim of activity and residual hyperpigmentation [3]. ALP commonly involves the male genitalia and intertriginous areas such as the axilla and groin folds [4].…”

“…Annular lichen planus is an uncommon subtype of LP, usually presenting with small annular lesions, with elevated borders and central clearing [8]. Although initially thought to be more common in black patients, recent studies have not shown racial differences [11].…”

“…Although initially thought to be more common in black patients, recent studies have not shown racial differences [11]. The male genitals and intertriginous areas are the more frequently affected locations and usually there are no lesions on the nails or mucosal sites [8,11]. Annular lesions can occur associated with typical LP lesions, but most patients present with annular lesions only [11].…”

“…This can be the result of viral infection or vaccination, drugs, contact allergens and rarely underlying neoplasms [4,5,6,7]. Annular LP is a rare variant affecting about 10 percent of patients and tends to have a chronic evolution [8]. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can have many skin manifestations, but there are very few reports showing association with lichen planus [9,10].…”

Background: Lichen planus is an idiopathic inflammatory disease of the skin and mucous membranes. Although the etiology is not established, it has been associated with autoimmune diseases, viral infections, drugs and dental restoration materials. However, the association with inflammatory bowel disease has been very rarely reported in the literature. Case Report: A 19-year-old female patient presented with annular lesions on her upper body and limbs, with a sharply defined border and non-atrophic skin in the center. The lesions were hyperpigmented and had been stable for over one year. The histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of annular lichen planus. She had weight loss, occasional diarrhea, and a severe anemia. The investigation of these symptoms led to the diagnosis of Crohn disease and a sickle cell trait. Therapy with systemic corticosteroids and mesalazine controlled the intestinal disease, with concomitant improvement of the skin lesions. Conclusions: As lichen planus can be associated with other immunological disorders, the association with inflammatory bowel disease should be considered in the evaluation of the patient.

“…1 Hasta la fecha, se han descrito aproximadamente 20 variedades clínicas de LP, siendo la anular una de las formas más raras. 2,3 Aproximadamente de 3 a 10% de los pacientes con LP puede presentar esta variedad; se observa tanto en población caucásica, como en afroamericanos. [3][4][5]…”
