Abstract

Down syndrome (DS) is the most common congenital abnormality affecting numerous organs and is associated with an increased incidence of many cutaneous diseases. DS is an extensively researched condition but its associated cutaneous diseases are not well studied. Only a small numbers of case reports on lichenoid diseases associated with DS are reported in literature. So far, we know, there is no report published on classical lichen planus with DS until now. We reported a case of lichen planus in an adult patient of Down syndrome. We treated the patient with systemic acitretin. Patient has been observed for last three years. A good result was observed without any complication or relapse.

Keywords: Lichen planus; Acitretin; Down syndrome
