Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that most commonly affects middle-aged individuals. LP involves the skin and/or mucous membranes, including oral, vulvovaginal, esophageal, laryngeal, and conjunctival mucosa. Linear LP, a rare distinct variant of LP, is characterised by pruritic eruption of lichenoid and violaceous papules in a linear distribution. We report an unusual presentation of linear LP in a 14-year-old child that extended from the left anterior nares to upper lip and into the oral mucosa up to the upper gum margin.

Lichen planus is a papulosquamous disorder that affects the skin as well as mucous membrane. It is classified into different variants according to the location and morphology. Hypertrophic lichen planus is one of the clinical variants. Here we have described a case of four-year-old boy with unusual presentation of hypertrophic lichen planus caused by chewing refill of ballpoint pen.
