We describe a new case of annular atrophic lichen planus. Annular atrophic lichen planus is a rare variant of lichen planus that is clinically characterized by violaceous plaques of annular morphology with central atrophy and histopathologic findings of annular and atrophic lichen planus, respectively. There have been 4 cases of this entity reported previously.
Leprosy is still a major health problem on a worldwide level, and although it does not reach endemic levels on our continent, it seems that there is an upward trend due to the number of imported cases diagnosed each year. We present two cases of lepromatous leprosy diagnosed in Valladolid within a five-month period. The last reported case of this disease in our community was over 20 years ago.
