  • Title: Erythrodermic lichen planus.
    Author: Rose AE, Patel U, Chu J, Patel R, Meehan S, Latkowski JA.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2011 Oct 15; 17(10):26. PubMed ID: 22031652.
    Abstract:
    Lichen planus (LP) is a relatively common papulosquamous disorder that is characterized by pruritic, polygonal papules in a characteristic distribution. We present a case of a 71-year-old man with erythroderma, who was ultimately diagnosed with severe, generalized LP. Treatment of severe LP is challenging, and there are few, robust, clinical trials in the literature to guide the selection of appropriate treatment. We discuss the treatment options for generalized LP and the evidence in support of these agents.
