Abstract:
We report a case of annular lichen planus occurred in the hands and feet area, which also showed nail dystrophy and annular or polycyclic plaques on the proximal and lateral nail folds. Annular lesions of lichen planus have been reported mainly in glans penis area of male patients, but predominantly annular variant occurred in other body sites is quite rare and was reported exclusively in black patients. Our case is interesting in that the patient had periungual lesions of lichen planus as well as its rare annular configurations localized to hands and feet.
