Blaschkoid lichen planus in childhood − a case report

We report a 5-year-old girl with Blaschkoid lichen planus, a rare variant with linear distribution along Blaschko’s lines. This case highlights the importance of recognizing this entity due to its distinct etiology and a more favorable outcome. This variant is crucial for proper diagnosis and patient reassurance regarding its self-limited course and favorable prognosis compared to classic linear lichen planus.

Abstract

We report a 5-year-old girl with Blaschkoid lichen planus, a rare variant with linear distribution along Blaschko’s lines. This case highlights the importance of recognizing this entity due to its distinct etiology and a more favorable outcome. This variant is crucial for proper diagnosis and patient reassurance regarding its self-limited course and favorable prognosis compared to classic linear lichen planus.
