Two Cases of Multiple Lichen Striatus / 대한피부과학회지

ABSTRACT

Lichen striatus is a self-limited, linear dermatosis of unknown etiology seen mainly in children. Clinically, it is usually seen as unilateral, flesh to red brown, flat-topped papules that follow Blaschko's lines. Many authors have theorized that viral or environmental agents acting on genetically predisposed individual might be involved in its etiology. We present two cases of multiple lichen striatus. The first case is 9 year-old boy, who has a past history of measles. The second case is 6 year-old girl, who was diagnosed of type I neurofibromatosis.
