ABSTRACT
Lichen aureus appears usually as asymptomatic golden to purpuric colored lesion and consists of lichenoid papules, patches, and plaques. This disease is regarded as a variant of pigmented purpuric dermatitis. The main cause remains largely unknown. It is common on the lower extremity, and generally occurs as a solitary lesion, however, also rarely occurred as a zonal, bilateral or segmented form. We present a 28-year-old man who had multiple, variable sized, red-brownish to purpuric colored papules and patches on both lower extremities, ankles and forearms. On histopathological examination, the lesion revealed features of lichen aureus. This patients condition was improved by treatment with oral and topical corticosteroid agent. Since this case appeared to be a very unique case of multiple lichen aureas, we reported the case herein.
