  • Title: Hypertrophic lichen planus - successful treatment with acitretin.
    Author: Alamri A, Alsenaid A, Ruzicka T, Wolf R.
    Journal: Dermatol Ther; 2016 May; 29(3):173-6. PubMed ID: 26809380.
    Abstract:
    Lichen planus classifies into different subtypes according to morphology and location. Hypertrophic LP (HLP) manifests a great challenge due to persistent itching, the risk to develop into squamous cell carcinoma and therapeutic resistance. We report two clinical cases exemplary for the successful treatment of dramatic-resistant HLP with acitretin.
