Lichen planus is a disease that is classically known to involve the flexural areas of the wrists, arms, and legs. Palmoplantar lichen planus is a rare variant of lichen planus and its diagnosis could prove complicated, especially when it comes out as an isolated finding. Lichen planus pigmentosus is an uncommon variant of lichen planus, generally involving the sun-exposed areas and axillary folds. In this paper, a case of palmoplantar lichen planus is presented. It first appeared as pruritic vesicles and later developed into keratoderma, and was treated with low dose acitretin. Finally, the patient developed lichen planus pigmentosus in his axillary folds. Upon literature re-view, it is seen that this is the first report of such a case in that these two clinical variants of the lichen planus were seen sequentially in the same patient.Keywords: Lichen planus; acitretin; keratoderma, palmoplantarTurkiye Klinikleri J Dermatol 2008, 18:63-66
