Main Article Content
Abstract
Lichen planus is an inflammatory, self-limiting dermatosis of unknown origin that can affect various parts of the body, including the oral cavity and cutaneous appendages. Lichen planus hypertrophicus is a morphological variant of the disease, uncommon in children, characterized by the appearance of thick hyperkeratotic papules with well-defined, regular borders and severe pruritus, which often form verrucous plaques. It has a chronic course and tends to leave hyperpigmented scars upon disappearance, with a predilection for the lower extremities and a higher prevalence in the Black race. We report a case of a 16-year-old female adolescent who presented to the pediatric clinic at Casa del Niño with a clinical history of 3 years characterized by verrucous, painful, pruritic, and hyperpigmented lesions on the right half of her body.
