Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The linear pattern of lichen planus (LP) is extremely rare. In six publications 1256 patients with LP have been reviewed and only three cases of linear LP (LLP) are reported. The differential diagnosis of LLP includes a number of linear dermatoses in particular lichen striatus (LS) and the extent of overlap between these syndromes remains contentious.
