face, and neck.1 Occasionally, lesions are generalized. The condition presents in the second and third decades of life as round to oval, 2โ6-cm flesh-colored and sometimes pruritic, symmetric plaques composed of multiple 1โ3-mm thorny, grouped follicular papules which protrude above the surface of the skin.1โ3 The condition is of no clinical significance. Lichen spinulosus has been described in association with atopy, Crohn disease, HIV infection, and as an adverse drug reaction.4โ7
Histologic features Lichen spinulosus is characterized by keratotic plugging of dilated follicular infundibula and a superficial perivascular and perifollicular lymphohistiocytic infiltrate.1 Sebaceous glands may be atrophic or absent. Perforating folliculitis-like features can be superimposed.
predominantly affected, but lesions may extend to involve the thighs, upper arms, and buttocks.1
Histologic features The papules consist of a cystically dilated follicular infundibulum filled with keratinous debris.4
