Q

Where does atrophic LP occur? What is likely happening? What do they look like?

A

intertriginous and lower extremities

likely resolving LP, maybe be exacerbated by TCS

papules coalesce to form larger plaques that over time become atrophic centrally, with residual hyperpigmentation.

Q

What is the difference between bullous LP and LP pemphigoides

A

Bullous LP–> vesicles and bullae develop within pre-existing lesions of LP as a result of intense lichenoid inflammation and significant epidermal damage

LP pemphigoides have circulating IgG autoantibodies directed against the 180 kDa BP antigen (BP180; BPAG2), as in idiopathic BP.
Compared to BP though, bullae can arise either within LP lesions or previously uninvolved skin, but the diagnosis of LP usually precedes the LP pemphigoides

Q

Where does hypertrophic LP occur? What does it look like?

A

Extremely pruritic, thick, hyperkeratotic plaques are seen primarily on the shins or dorsal aspect of the feet and may be covered by a fine adherent scale.

Q

What is the concern about hypertrophic LP

A

developing bcc

19
Q

What is the morphology of inverse psoriasis

A

Pink to violaceous papules and plaques appear in intertriginous zones OR just hyperpigemtation

20
Q

What is the presentation of lichen plans pigmentosus

A

brown to gray-brown macules develops into into diffuse or reticulate pigmentation

sun exposed areas face/neck , can have other locations

21
Q

Name two variants of lichen plants pigmentosus

A

-LP inversus–> Also intertriginous variant-can be hard to tell from inverse variant of LP
-Linear variant along lines of blaschko

22
Q

What is the difference between EDP and Lichen plants pigmentosus

A

EDP
- is often truncal involvement,
- a younger mean age of onset
-lack of either diffuse pigmentation or lack of coexisting LP lesions.

LPP
-other LP lesions on body
-more photo exposed
-LP lesions is seen in ~20% of patients with LP pigmentosus.
-Occasionally, small nests of keratinocytes are seen within the basal layer and these may be confused with nests of melanocytes.

23
Q

What is the triad of Graham-Little–Piccardi–Lassueur syndrome

A
  1. non-cicatricial loss of pubic and axillary hairs and disseminated spinous or acuminated follicular papules
    2.typical cutaneous or mucosal LP
    (3) scarring alopecia of the scalp with or without atrophy
24
Q

What does linear LP refer to

A

LP lesions that spontaneously pop up in lines of blaschko–> NOT koebner

25
Q

What % of patients have nail involvement in LP

A

10%

26
Q

Name 4 nail findings in LP

A

Lateral thinning
Longitudinal ridging and fissuring
Dorsal pterygyium
Pitting

27
Q

28
Q

What are the 7 forms of oral LP? Which is most common?

A

Atrophic
bullous
Erosive
Papular
Pigmented
Plaque like
Reticular-most common

29
Q

If oral LP, what do you need to ask about

A

Esophaagesal
Vulvovaginal

30
Q

What infection is associated with oral LP

A

Hep C

31
Q

With Hep C associated LP, where does it often occur? Non Hep C oral LP?

A

tongue, labial mucosa, and gingivae

Non hep C–> buccal mucosa

32
Q

What 4 forms of LP are associated with SCC development

A
  • Oral
  • Vulvar
  • Hypertrophic
  • Erosive
33
Q

Where does ulcerative LP tend to occur

A

in palmar-plantar lesions

34
Q

Most common form vulvovaginal LP

A

Erosive

Often oral involvement too–>vulvovaginal-gingival syndrome

35
Q

Name 5 clinical differences between LP and lichenoid drug

A
  • Clinically for lichenoid drug:
    o Lesions are larger, often more psoriasiform
    o Wickham’s striae are usually not apparent
    o Mucosal involvement is less common
    o Trunk and extremities are favoured over forearms, genitals
    o May be photo-distributed (photolichenoid drug)
36
Q

What are seven histopathologic differences seen in a lichenoid drug eruption as compared to idiopathic lichen planus?

A
  • Focal parakeratosis
  • Spongiosis
  • Interface change may be patchy
  • Epidermis may be thinned
  • Less pronounced hypergranulosis (wickham’s striae) or even hypogranulosis
  • Cytoid bodies found in the upper granular cell layer (vs. spinous layer in LP)
  • Eosinophils
  • Plasma cells
  • Exocytosis of lymphoid cells
  • Perivascular infiltrate in the deeper dermis (especially photolichenoid reactions)
37
Q

What are seven histopathologic differences seen in a lichenoid drug eruption as compared to idiopathic lichen planus?

A

  • Spongiosis
  • Interface change may be patchy
  • Epidermis may be thinned
  • Less pronounced hypergranulosis (wickham’s striae) or even hypogranulosis

38
Q

Average latent period for drug induced LP

A

7 or 12 months

39
Q

What do you see on pathology for giant cell lichenoid dermatitis?

A

multinucleated giant cells and histiocytes

40
Q

Name 4 drugs associated with giant cell lichenoid dermatitis

A

ACE inhibitors,
β-blockers,
lipid-lowering agents,
phenolphthalein,
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

41
Q

List 10 features of classic lichen planus seen on histopathology

A

Hyperkeratosis
Orthokeratosis
Hypergranulosis-wdge shaped
Basal cell degeneration
Lichenoid infiltrate
sub epidermal cleft-max Joseph spaces
Necrotic keratonocytes
Irregular acanthosis
Sawtooth rete ridges
Pigment incontinence
Hypereosinophilia of keratinocytes in malphigian layer
Civatte bodies in the basal layer
Colloid bodies in the papillary dermis

42
Q

What are two findings seen on direct immunofluorescence of classic lichen planus?

A

1) Linear fibrillary band of fibrin at the DEJ.
2) Cytoid bodies stain with IgM > IgG, IgA and C3.

43
Q

What histopathologic finding relates to the Wickham’s striae?

A
  • Wedge-shaped hypergranulosis related to sweat ducts and hair follicles.
44

Avg remission time for most ppl for cutaneous LP

A

1 yr

*not erosive lp, often doesn’t remit
