ABSTRACT

Hypertrophic lichen planus is rare chronic variant of this disease, usually occurs on the lower extremities especially the shins, and associated with severe itching sensation. We report a case of localized hypertrophic lichen planus with bilateral hyperkeratotic polygonal violaceous papuloplaques on both upper eyelids and dorsa of hands and lace-like patches in oral mucosa. The patient had been treated with triamcinolone acetonide intralesional injection at two week intervals, two times and topical steroid after then the lesion had significantly improved.
