Isolated lichen planus of the lower lip.
An idiopathic inflammatory dermatosis, lichen planus (LP) involves the skin, mucosa, or both, in a variety of clinical forms. The involvement of the mucous membranes is seen frequently and usually is asymptomatic, but occasionally, LP can be complicated by extensive painful erosions. We report the case of a 44-year-old man who presented with a 3-year history of isolated lower lip erosions, for which the diagnosis of LP was made. This report represents only the fourth case of LP exclusively localized on the lower lip.
Actinic keratoses--surgical and physical therapeutic modalities.
Actinic keratoses (AKs) are the most common epithelial premalignant lesions seen by dermatologists today. The vast therapeutic armamentarium for treating AKs can be roughly divided into 2 categories: topical and surgical/physical modalities. It is important for clinicians to be familiarized with the various therapeutic options for treating AKs and to deliver individualized treatments. This article will review the surgical and physical modalities available for the treatment of AKs.
