title: [Lichen ruber ulcerosus plantae].
abstract: A 66-year-old patient suffering from painful ulcerative lichen planus of the feet is presented. Various treatments (topical and oral corticosteroids, irradiation and a 6-month therapy with acitretin) were tried without success. Skin grafting in the affected areas was helpful and resulted with an acceptable and painless state.
