“…These findings were highly characteristic but not diagnostic for lichen planus since they could be found in cases of lupus erythematosus, eczema, and various dermatoses. These findings were in agreement with previous observations (Ueki 1969, Michel & Sy 1973, Waisman et al 1973. This contrasts with the diagnostic features of lupus erythematosus in which immunoglobulins and complement are deposited at the basement membrane and also on the colloid (Civatte) bodies (Baart de la Faille-Kuyper & Cormane 1968, Pohle & Tuffanelli 1968, Burnham & Fine 1969, Ueki 1969).…”

Two patients are reported with clinical symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus associated with centrally ulcerated hypertrophic plaques and lip lesions. Histological findings from various sites were features of both lupus erythematosus and lichen planus. An increase in acid mucopolysaccharides and a thickened basement membrane which were present in some biopsies were interpreted as lupus erythematosus. The deposition of immunoglobulins and fibrinogen seemed to favor lupus erythematosus but these findings may also be seen in lichen planus. Four possible interpretations of the findings are discussed. The term "mixed lichen planus--lupus erythematosus disease" may be appropriate for these patients.

“…In addition, immunoglobulin deposits can be found in most LP lesions, but not in LN. 57 Immunohistochemical studies also distinguish the two. Specifically, although both LP and LN are mediated, at least in part, by a population of T cells, in LP the majority of the cells are helper T cells whereas in LN the cellular infiltrate is more heterogeneous.…”

“…Conversely, other evidence suggests that lichen nitidus and lichen planus are separate entities. Waisman, Dundon & Michel (1973) drew attention to the uniform absence of immunofluorescent deposits in histological specimens of lichen nitidus, and contrasted this with lichen planus in which over 95 " " ofbiopsy specimens show positive immunofluorescent staining for immunoglobulins. One patient studied by Waisman et al (1973) had lesions of both lichen planus and lichen nitidus.…”

Basement membrane immunofluorescence in this patient was positive in lesions clinically and histologically typical of lichen planus, and negative in those of lichen nitidus.…”
