ASHY DERMATOSIS AND LICHEN PLANUS PIGMENTOSUS: A CLINICOPATHOLOGIC STUDY OF 31 CASES

The clinical and histopathologic characteristics of patients with ashy dermatosis (n=20) and lichen planus pigmentosus (n=11) were analyzed. We found significant clinical differences between both dermatoses, supporting our opinion that they are two separate conditions. Both dermatoses were histologically similar.
