title: Lichen striatus: simultaneous occurrence in two nonrelated siblings.
abstract: Lichen striatus is an uncommon, self-limited eruption of unknown etiology. What role genetic or environmental influences play in its pathogenesis is unclear. We report two nonrelated, adopted children living in the same household who simultaneously developed lichen striatus.
