Abstract

Lichen striatus is a papulous dermatosis with low prevalence, affecting mainly children and it is more frequent on the female population. Clinically, it evolves with abrupt onset with erythematous violaceous or hypopigmented papules, generally with non-pruritic and with unilateral distribution, with predilection for the extremities, following the Bhlaschko lines. We report a case of lichen striatus with atypical features and in this case, in addition to the histopathological exam, dermoscopy was useful on the diagnostic evaluation.
