PEMPHIGOID LICHEN PLANUS

Abstract

The paper presents the clinical and morphological characteristics of a rare pemphigoid form of lichen planus, a cross-syndrome — lichen planus and bullous pemphigoid. The pathogenesis is unclear. Clinically this form is presented by the initial manifestation of cavitary elements with a compact cap and subsequent emergence at the site thereof of polygonal papulous elements of typical lichen planus. Of 279 patients with lichen planus, observed at Department of Dermatovenereology and Dermato-Oncology of M.F.Vladimirsky Institute over the recent decade, this form was diagnosed in 6 (2.2%). A clinical case with pemphigoid lichen planus is described, effectively treated by a combination of delagil, tetracycline, and elocome.
