ABSTRACT
Lichen planus has numerous clinical variants; one of
them is lichen planus pigmentosus which is rarely
mentioned in the medical literature. When located in
the skin folds, it is known as lichen planus
pigmentosus-inversus. In order to communicate a
rare variant of lichen planus and its first
presentation associated with drugs, we report the
case of a 51 year-old mixed-race female patient
from Latin America who was treated in the
Department of Dermatology at the Celia Sanchez
Manduley Clinical-Surgical Hospital in Granma. She
presented with pigmented lesions in the
inframammary folds that had evolved over several
years. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed by
histopathological elements. Some dermatoses with
similar characteristics were dismissed. Treatment
with propolis cream was beneficial.
