title: Coexistence of atopic dermatitis and lichen nitidus in three patients.
abstract: Lichen nitidus (LN) is an uncommon skin disorder. We observed 3 patients with an association of lichen nitidus and atopic dermatitis (AD), which to the best of our knowledge has not been previously reported in the literature. It remains to be evaluated whether the association of LN and AD is fortuitous or not.
