title: Generalized lichen nitidus: case report and literature review.
abstract: Lichen nitidus is a rare condition of unknown cause, characterized by minute, flesh-colored, shiny papules occurring on the genitalia, abdomen, chest, and extremities. This disorder is most often localized, but a few cases of generalized lichen nitidus have been reported. We describe a young patient with a 1.5-year history of unremitting generalized lichen nitidus.
