Lichen planus pigmentosus inversus in children: Case report and updated review of the literature

Abstract

Lichen planus pigmentosus inversus (LPPI) is a rare variant of lichen planus characterized by slate grey to dark black-brown macules, papules, or patches occurring in the skin folds. We present a case of LPPI in an 11-year-old girl, the second-youngest case and only the third pediatric case. This article also reviews the differential diagnosis and treatment of LPPI.
