Pigmented lichen planus is a rare variant of lichen planus that is characterized by oval and round shape dark brown macules with indistinct border. Linear pigmented lichen planus is a clinical pattern of planus disease that presents unilaterally along one or more lines of blaschko. We report a 30–year-old female patient with Linear pigmented lichen planus along the lines of blaschko with mucosal involvement. Keywords: Pigmented lichen planus; Blaschko line; Mucosal involvement.

Background: Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is believed to be a follicular variant of lichen planus that affects pilosebaceous units, mainly of the scalp. An extremely rare variant of LPP is a linear form, which follows the lines of Blaschko. Of the five previously documented cases of linear LPP, all were limited to the face. Objective: We report the case of a 34-year-old male who presented with a nonpruritic eruption on the trunk consisting of erythematous, keratotic, folliculocentric papules following Blaschko's lines. Results: Biopsy revealed lichenoid and interface dermatitis involving the basilar epidermis and hair follicles, as well as apoptotic keratinocytes, consistent with LPP. Conclusion: This represents the first documented case of LPP, following the Blaschko's lines, in a nonfacial distribution.

Background. Syringoma is a benign eccrine sweat gland tumor, characterized by multiple skin colored or slightly yellowish papules. Vulvar syringoma without extragenital involvement is an extremely rare variant of syringoma.Mail Observations. Herein, we report a 40-year-old diabetic female patient who presented with only lichenified plaques on the vulvar region without any extragenital lesions. Diagnosis of vulvar syringoma was made depending on the characteristic double lined cystic enlargements and comma-like tails found in histopathological examination. Immunohistochemical stains for estrogen and progesterone receptors were negative.Conclusion. Vulvar syringoma may present with no obvious papules on lichenified plaques.

AbstractA rare variant of the cystadenoma of salivary gland origin is presented, which occurred in the parotid of a 36-year-old, otherwise healthy female patient. The tumour showed a dense follicle-containing lymphoid stroma, resembling papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (Warthin's tumour). In contrast to that, the epithelial lining gave a more irregular impression and oncocytic metaplasia were completely absent. Light microscopic and immunohistochemical features of the tumour are described and compared with those of classical cystadenoma and papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum (Warthin's tumour). Other relevant multicystic epithelial parotid lesions, which are commonly associated with a prominent lymphoid component are discussed.

An unusual case of Echinococcus oligarthrus infestation of the submandibular salivary gland is reported. Echinococcus oligarthrus is a rare variant of the Echinococcus species affecting humans. To the best of our knowledge only one case of submandibular hydatid cyst caused by Echinococcus oligarthrus has been reported. A 28-year-old female patient was admitted with a progressively increasing swelling in the left submandibular region of four years’ duration. There was no pulmonary or hepatic involvement. The present case of submandibular hydatid cyst caused by Echinococcus oligarthrus is of interest because of the unusual site of the disease.

<p class="abstract">Lichen planus (LP) is a papulosquamous disorder with both cutaneous and mucosal manifestation. Linear lichen planus is rare variant of lichen planus which occurs in the extremities. Oral lichen planus is another variant of lichen planus. Coexistence of linear lichen planus with oral lichen planus is rare and only one case has been reported before this case. A 35 year old female presented with hyperpigmented linear lesion in the leg and whitish plaques in the oral cavity. Biopsy of the skin lesions showed features of lichen planus. The patient was started on topical steroids and oral hydroxychloroquine. Patient responded to treatment.</p>
