title: Lichen striatus with onychodystrophy.
abstract: Two case reports of lichen striatus with nail dystrophy are presented herein. Review of the literature suggests a more protracted course for the cutaneous eruption if there is nail involvement. Biopsy is important to differentiate this condition from other linear lesions that may interfere with normal nail growth.
