Keratosis lichenoides chronica with prominent telangiectasia: response to etretinate.
A 65-year-old man with a chronic pruritic lichenoid eruption with telangiectasia is presented. Histologic findings consisted of a lichenoid reaction with many dilated dermal capillaries. Treatment with oral etretinate resulted in considerable improvement. We believe that our patient had a vascular variant of keratosis lichenoides chronica.
