Abstract

Lichen planus (LP) which was firstly defined by Erasmus Wilson in 1869, is a pruritic dermatosis with unknown etiology affecting skin and mucosa. It is characterized with purple, scaly, flat polygonal papular lesions placed on flexor surface of wrist and legs and oral and genital mucous membranes. LP is rarely seen in children and constitutes only 1-4% of total cases. Eyelid involvement is rarely reported finding of LP which is an inflammatory disease. Herein, a 9-year-old child with LP is presented with very rarely reported involvement of eyelids.

Özet

Liken planus (LP), ilk kez 1869’da Erasmus Wilson tarafından tanımlanmış olup, cilt ve mukozaları etkileyen etiyolojisi bilinmeyen, pruritik bir dermatozdur. El bileği ve bacakların fleksor yüzü ile oral ve genital mukoz membranlarda yerleşen, mor renkli, kepekli, tepesi düz, poligonal papüler lezyonlarla karakterizedir. LP, çocuklarda nadirdir, toplam olguların yalnızca %1-4’ünü oluşturmaktadır. Göz kapağının tutulumu, inflamatuvar bir hastalık olan LP’un çok az bildirilen bir bulgusudur. Burada, 9 yaşında LP tanısı konulan çocuk hasta göz kapağı gibi çok nadir bildirilmiş lokalizasyonda tutulumu olduğundan sunulmaktadır.
