A Case for Diagnosis (Linear Lichen? Psoriasis?). Presented by DR. PAUL D. FOSTER.

C. B., a Norwegian woman aged 51, presents a linear group of lesions on the inner side of the left thigh and extending down the inner side of the right leg to the sole, where there is a dollar-sized group of papules. The lesions on the sole appeared vesicular when first examined. A similar eruption appeared four weeks ago on the left arm and the left ankle and extended upward later. Histologic examination showed chronic eczema. The Wassermann and Kahn tests of the blood were negative.

DISCUSSION

DR. SAMUEL AYRES JR.: Cases like this are not common. I have observed two previous cases of localized linear lichen.

DR. IRVING R. BANCROFT: The condition probably is linear lichen, but the appearance is not typical by any means.
