Abstract

Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) is an infrequent variant of lichen planus (LP), marked by dark brown to gray macular pigmentation affecting sun-exposed regions. While typically exhibiting diffuse or reticular patterns, LPP can manifest in various forms, including the

rare linear or blashkoid configuration. The description of linear or Blaschkoid-patterned LPP on the face are relatively even rarer. This report, thus, describes the case of a 37-year-old female presenting with LPP exhibiting a unilateral blashko-linear pattern across her cheek.
