Abstract:
A healthy 18-year-old woman presented with an asymptomatic tiny papular eruption on the hands, forearms, legs and trunk. A skin biopsy from the left forearm revealed a typical lichen nitidus lesion associated with an adjacent transepidermal perforating lesion. We report a case of perforating lichen nitidus, and briefly review the relevant literature of perforating lichen nitidus.
