Abstract
The generalized form of lichen nitidus (LN) with oral and nail changes is extremely rare in childhood, We report a 10-year-old boy with gene ralized LN associated with oral involvement and onychodystrophy. Oral lesions showed yellowish papules on the gums. The nails had longitudin al striations and pits on the finger-nails, and transversal ridging of the big toes was found. Cutaneous and mucosal lesions as well as onyc hodystrophy spontaneously cleared within 8 months.
