| Abstrakt: | Introduction: Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that causes plaques and itchy papules on the skin, as well as erosion and ulcers in the mucous membranes. LP is characterized by a dense dermal T-cell infiltration. Perieccrine inflammation can be seen in a variety of dermatoses, but genuine lymphocyte permeation of the secretory coil or lymphocytic syringotropism is a rare sign that is typically seen in mycosis fungoides. Case Presentation: In this study, we present 2 uncommon instances of lymphocytic syringotropism in LP. Histopathological examination revealed dense T-cell infiltration and lymphocytic involvement of eccrine glands, confirming syringotropism. Conclusion: Lymphocytic syringotropism is an uncommon finding in LP. Its presence broadens the histopathological spectrum of LP and highlights the need to differentiate it from lymphoproliferative disorders like mycosis fungoides. Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no competing interests. (© 2024 The Author(s). Published by S. Karger AG, Basel.) |
