ABSTRACT
Abstract Pigmented purpuric dermatoses are chronic vascular inflammatory conditions characterized by the presence of pigmented macules. Among its different presentations, lichen aureus is distinguished by the lichenoid conformation of its plaques and the predilection for lower limb involvement. Its segmented form is rare and difficult to control, especially in cases of symptomatic lesions. We report a rare case of segmental lichen aureus with six years of evolution associated with light itching. We also discuss the main therapeutic approaches to control the disease.
