title: Bilateral lower eyelid margin erosion associated with lichen planus.
abstract: A 32-year-old woman presented with bilateral lower eyelid margin erosion and erythema of several years' duration. She reported no improvement with the use of topical corticosteroid therapy. A full-thickness excisional biopsy was performed, and the histopathology of the specimens was consistent with lichen planus.
