DISCUSSIONLichen nitidus was first described and named by Pinkus in 1907. 1 The pathogenic mechanism of LN is still unclear and may be related to infection or other autoimmune diseases. LN is common in children and adolescents, with no apparent gender or racial differences. The typical clinical presentation is a variable number of scattered firm, shiny, round or flat papules, that remain discrete and measure approximately 1–3 mm in diameter. LN tends to occur on the extremities, abdomen, chest wall, and penis. Typical pathologic changes are papillary widening and focal, dense infiltration of inflammatory cells in a spherical shape, forming the “claw clutching ball” sign. There are several subtypes of LN, including limited, generalised, actinic, vesicular, perforating, hemorrhagic, purpuric, keratoderma, and linear.
