Abstract

© 2019 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Lichen sclerosus involving the hands is very uncommon. On the other hand, degenerative collagenous plaques of the hands is a rare condition characterized by keratotic, translucent papules in linear array, on the radial border of the hands. Histopathologically, lesions of degenerative collagenous plaques of the hands show increased collagen bundles in upper half of the dermis and dermal elastosis. We describe the clinical and histopathological progression experienced by a woman who initially presented lesions with clinical and histopathological appearance of degenerative collagenous plaques of the hands, which evolved into characteristic lichen sclerosus. We propose that some cases of the so-called degenerative collagenous plaques of the hands may represent an acrolocalized lichen sclerosus at an early stage.
