Lichen planus pigmentosus: a retrospective clinico‐epidemiologic study with emphasis on the rare follicular variant

Dermatoscopic evaluation and histopathological correlation of acquired dermal macular hyperpigmentation

“…Interestingly, even advanced stages show sparing of eccrine and follicular openings, and it needs further attention as to why these structures are spared. Only one of our cases, clinically diagnosed as follicular LPP, had involvement of hair follicular openings . The owl's eye structures seen in a few patients likely represent follicular plugs, however we could not find an association between these structures and histopathological follicular plugging.…”

Lichen planus pigmentosus and its variants: review and update

“…). Morphological variants described in order of frequency from highest to lowest are diffuse, reticular, blotchy, perifollicular, and annular, all of which may coexist in the same patient. Occasionally, LPP can present concomitantly with LP; therefore, it is not surprising that active or resolving LP lesions be found in patients with LPP …”

“…One of the most commonly used topical treatments is tacrolimus. Systemic treatment includes corticosteroids in pulse doses or continuous administration with gradual tapering, as well as dapsone has been recently reported as a promising therapy with a relatively better side effect profile.…”

“…32 Low-moderate efficacy, expensive; has been used with tacrolimus in active cases. 32 Oral corticosteroids 19,45 Anti-inflammatory 19,45 LPP: Dexamethasone 2.5 mg, in pulses, 2 days per week for 12 weeks. 19 LPP-inversus: Deflazacort 45 mg/ day and tapering after 2-months to 6 mg/day.…”

A novel scale for measurement of acquired dermal macular hyperpigmentation severity

“…Our aim with this paper is to report a case of BCC in the scrotum treated with Mohs micrographic surgery that highlights the importance of considering the possibility of diagnosing BCC and its more aggressive behavior in an area where it is usually not observed.Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the genital region is uncommon, accounting for 0.05-0.19% of the cases of BCC [1][2][3][4]. In most cases, the lesions are asymptomatic and have a nonspecific clinical presentation, making the diagnosis difficult.…”
