Abstract

An unusual syndrome of lichen planus, characterized by ulcerations confined to the feet, permanent loss of toenails and a cicatricial alopecia of the scalp is reported, related to a 71 years old woman. Only eleven cases identical of this have been described as yet. Skin grafting to the ulcerous surfaces has been the treatment of choice, because offers the opportunity for a lasting therapeutic response.
