Abstract

Lichen nitidus which is more prevalent among children or young adults is an uncommon and usually asymptomatic cutaneous eruption. It is composed of multiple, smooth, and round papules. Lesions may occur anywhere over the skin surface; however, the most frequent sites of predilection are the genitalia, upper extremities, and abdomen. Lichen nitidus has no relation-ship to any systemic disease. Rare clinical variants include vesicular, hemorrhagic, spinous follicular, linear, actinic, and generalized types. The present paper describes a 10-year-old male patient with generalized lichen nitidus.

Özet

Daha çok çocuk ve genç erişkinlerde görülen liken nitidus, nedeni bilinmeyen, genellikle asemptomatik, kutanöz bir erupsiyon olup; mültipl küçük yuvarlak papüllerle seyreder. Papüller vücut yüzeyinin herhangi bir bölgesinde görülebilmekle birlikte genital bölge, üst ekstremiteler ve karın bölgesine daha sık lokalize olurlar. Herhangi bir sistemik hastalıkla ilişkisi olmayan liken nitidus, ender olarak veziküler, hemorajik, spinöz foliküler, lineer, aktinik ve jeneralize tipte de görülebilmektedir. Makalemizde jeneralize liken nitiduslu 10 yaşında bir erkek olgu sunulmaktadır.
