Abstract
Lichenoid eruptions are represented by lichen planus and lichen striat us. They are characterized clinically by a papulous eruption, and hist ogically by a dermal superficial infiltrate of lymphocytic cells and a cytotoxic reaction directed against basal keratinocytes. The main dif ferential diagnosis is hamartoma, the differentiation being important because of the possible association of haemartoma with malformations. (C) 1998, Elsevier, Paris.
