The lichen planus-like eruption after bone marrow transplantation

Abstract: A lichen planus-like eruption was seen in four patients after bone marrow transplantation. The skin and mucous membrane appearance closely mimicked lichen planus. The histopathology was also very similar to lichen planus. The occurrence of a lichen planus-like eruption (LPLE) after an immune basal cell damage related to the graft-versus-host reaction raised the question of the immune nature of this eruption. The correlation found between biological signs of graft-versus-host reaction and the out-break or relap… Show more

“…Direct immuno fluorescence findings of these eruptions were very similar to those o f 'genuine' LP. There is good evidence that the lichenoid reaction represents a graft-versus-host reaction, in which the target area of the recipient host is likely to be the basal cell compartment of the epithelium [20,21].…”

“…40,41 These lesions are erythematous or violaceous papules or plaques, with a squamous surface, sometimes able to form larger confluent areas. The periorbital region, ears, palms, and soles are the typically affected sites (Figure 6).…”

“…The histologic diagnosis was made with the use of established criteria. 17,18 Date of diagnosis of cGVHD was determined as the time when an appropriate therapy was started for cGVHD. The modes of presentation were progressive (development from aGVHD without interval), quiescent (development after complete remission from aGVHD), and de novo (without preceding aGVHD) as previously described.…”
