[Lichenoid eruptions in the child].
Lichenoid eruptions are represented by lichen planus and lichen striatus. They are characterized clinically by a papulous eruption, and histogically by a dermal superficial infiltrate of lymphocytic cells and a cytotoxic reaction directed against basal keratinocytes. The main differential diagnosis is hamartoma, the differentiation being important because of the possible association of haemartoma with malformations.
