MILIARY LICHEN PLANUS: REPORT OF CASE

MILIARY LICHEN PLANUS: REPORT OF CASE Abstract In 1914, Pels1 published an article recording a case of an eruption made up of minute, shiny papules, in a marked way resembling those of lichen nitidus, to which he applied the term "miliary lichen planus." The lesions so closely resembled those of lichen nitidus that it was difficult to differentiate between this condition and lichen planus.

When first seen by Dr. Pels at the Johns Hopkins Hospital dispensary, he presented an eruption which was distributed practically over the entire body, appearing more profusely in certain regions, especially about the knees, wrists, forearms, external aspects of the elbows, anal region, buttocks and around the ankles.
