“…69 In fact, the established clinical association between the two and the similar lichenoid histology have led many in the past to propose that LN is, in fact, a variant of LP. [70][71][72] However, at this time it seems clear that the two are different diseases. Clinically, LN is distinct from LP as it is neither pruritic nor violaceous.…”

“…The view that LN represents a variant of lichen planus has recently been supported by several authors because of similarities in the clinical and histological findings 4–6 . In addition, LN has never been previously reported to be caused by M. tuberculosis infection.…”

“…However, we have not found any recent reports on the treatment of LN with antituberculous agents. Alternatively, this disease is postulated to be a variant of lichen planus based on the fact that the two diseases occasionally occur together and may have a similar distribution 4–6 . Spontaneous regression may be seen, 7 but potent topical corticosteroids seem to be useful in treating 70–80% of cases of LN 8…”

We describe a Japanese girl with generalized lichen nitidus. She had been exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis at 6 years of age via her teacher. At 8 years of age, she developed severe contact dermatitis on sun-exposed areas after contact with Japanese lacquer trees. Shortly after, numerous tiny, shiny, flesh-coloured papules developed over the upper part of her body. At 10 years of age, she was exposed to a school outbreak of M. tuberculosis. Her eruption showed no response to topical corticosteroids or oral tranilast, but most of the papules completely disappeared after she had received oral isoniazid for 6 months.

“…Pruritus is unusual in chronic hepatitis [24]. LN-like skin lesions can be found in about 30% of all patients suffering from LP [25]. The close association of lichen nitidus and LP prompted some authors to suppose that the two diseases may be different manifestations of essentially the same pathogenetic process [22, 23].…”

Generalized Lichen Nitidus with Involvement of the Palms following Interferon α Treatment

Lichen nitidus is an uncommon dermatosis of unknown etiology. Here we present the case of a generalized lichen nitidus with involvement of the palms in a patient with hepatitis C after systemic treatment with interferon α and ribavirin. Furthermore in our patient we could show a strong lesional expression of MxA, a protein specifically induced by type I interferon. It is tempting to speculate that interferon α may be involved in the pathogenesis of lichen nitidus.
