“…These lesions may resemble psoriasis vulgaris, warts, calluses, porokeratosis, hyperkeratotic eczema, tinea, or secondary syphilis (1, 4, 14). Cases with painful ulcerative lesions have also been observed (6, 9, 10) Our patient had tiny red papules on the palms and soles without compact hyperkeratosis, some of which mimicked vesicles. No.…”

“…Palmoplantar lichen planus is a rare, 1ocalized variant of the disease and may create difficulty in diagnosis if it is present as an isolated finding (1, 2). Several morphological patterns of palmoplantar lesions in lichen planus have been described including erythematous plaques, punctate keratosis, diffuse keratoderma, and ulcerated lesions (3–6, 9, 10).…”

Palmoplantar lichen planus is a rare, localized variant of the disease that may create difficulty in diagnosis if it is present as an isolated finding. Although several morphological patterns may be seen, plaques or small papules with compact hyperkeratosis are usually observed. We present a 25-year-old woman with a one-month history of slightly pruritic, red papules on her palms and soles. Dermatologic examination revealed numerous, asymptomatic, unscaly, red papules on her palms and soles, some of them resembling vesicles and white reticulate plaques on both sides of the buccal mucosa. The diagnosis was established by the typical histopathological features of lichen planus. Although resistant to topical corticosteroids, she responded well to systemic corticosteroid therapy, and no recurrence was observed during the follow-up period of one year.

“…Lichen planus is associated with other diseases that have an autoimmune basis, such as diabetes, chronic persistent hepatitis and Sjögren's syndrome. Some cases of ULP associated with autoimmune disease have also been reported 4–6 . The relationship between ULP, which has unusual features of LP, and autoimmune diseases may be related to the etiology of ULP.…”

Ulcerative lichen planus is a rare variant of lichen planus that is characterized by ulcerations of the feet and toes that are accompanied by toenail loss. However, the nail, oral mucosa, genital mucosa and the scalp are also sometimes affected by ulcerative lichen planus. Several authors have drawn attention to the association of ulcerative lichen planus and autoimmune diseases. We report a patient who had ulcerative lichen planus, with ulcerative erythema on the soles and palms, nail dystrophy and oral lesions, as well as Sjögren's syndrome; she was successfully treated with etretinate.

“…Although spontaneous remission could occur in the course of LP and there are a few isolated case reports of idiopathic lichen planus associated with RA; in our patient, the typical photodistribution of the lesions and prompt resolution of LP after withdrawal of the suspected drug, along with lack of recurrence, are arguments in favor of lichenoid drug eruption.
