“…Differential diagnosis of annular lesions in HIVinfected patients includes granuloma annulare, disseminated porokeratosis, superficial dermatophytosis and secondary syphilis. 15 Generalized annular lichen planus though rare, has been reported in HIV-seropositive patients by Chakraborty et al 15 Five cases of chronic plaque psoriasis with annular arrangement of lesions were found in our study. The patients belonged to age group of second to fifth decade and presented with itchy scaly round raised lesions over trunk and extremities.…”

Background: Annular skin eruptions commonly present in dermatology outpatient department. The most common cause of annular lesions encountered among the adult population in developing nations is dermatophytosis. The aim of the study was to identify risk factors and determine etiology of annular skin lesions after correlation of clinical, pathological, serological and mycological features and to analyze the clinical and laboratory features.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 103 patients presenting with annular skin eruptions to the Dermatology outpatient/inpatient department of BJ Government Medical College and Sassoon Hospital, Pune during a two year period (2015 to 2017).Results: During a two year period from 2015 to 2017, 103 patients with annular skin eruptions were enrolled. Of these, 67% (65.05%) had superficial dermatophytosis while 16 (15.5%) had Hansens disease. Other groups of sporadic cases found were chronic plaque psoriasis (54.85%), pityriasis rosea (43.9%), pityriasis versicolor (21.9%), secondary syphilis (21.9%), granuloma annulare (21.9%), annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (11%), Bowens disease (11%), erythema multiforme (11%), porokeratosis (11%) and sarcoidosis (11%). Statistically significant association was found between number, color, site and symptoms in superficial dermatophytosis.Conclusions: This was a novel study that attempted a comprehensive clinico-etiological compilation of annular skin eruptions analyzing a large number of clinical variables and risk factors. Based on the observations, an algorithmic clinical approach has been suggested to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment initiation.

“…Si bien puede presentarse de forma generalizada, predomina la variedad localizada 3 . Esta última puede ser indistinguible clínicamente del granuloma anular o la poroqueratosis de Mibelli, por lo que la histopatología es indispensable para su diferenciación 15,16 . Se encuentran publicaciones en donde se relaciona el liquen plano anular con las hepatitis B y C, la hepatitis autoinmunitaria y la cirrosis biliar primaria, pero no hay evidencia de asociación con la púrpura trombocitopénica idiopática como presentaba la paciente, por lo que queda abierto el interrogante acerca del valor de este antecedente en la aparición de la dermatosis 15 .…”

El liquen plano es una enfermedad inflamatoria benigna con hallazgos clínicos e histopatológicos característicos. Además de la forma clásica, presenta variantes clínicas de baja prevalencia, cuyo conocimiento e identificación son de gran importancia para arribar a un correcto diagnóstico y tratamiento. Describimos los casos de 3 pacientes con presentaciones clínicas atípicas de liquen plano pigmentoso invertido, anular y penfigoide, y realizamos una revisión bibliográfica.
