Concurrent Blaschkoid Lichen Planus Pigmentosus and Lichen Planopilaris in a Child

ABSTRACT

Concurrent occurrence of blaschkoid lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) and lichen planopilaris (LPp) in a pediatric patient is exceedingly rare. We present a case of a 13-year-old female with blaschkoid LPP and LPp. The patient exhibited hyperpigmented lesions in a reticular pattern on the face, trunk, and extremities, along with alopecic patches on the scalp. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. This case highlights the importance of considering LPp as a differential diagnosis for scarring alopecia in pediatric patients, even in atypical presentations.
