Corneal Involvement by Lichen Planus Pigmentosus.
OBJECTIVE
Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) is an exclusive form of lichen planus (LP) characterized by pigmentary incontinence in histopathologic slides.


METHODS
We report a known case of LPP with ocular manifestations including pigmented eyelid margins and conjunctival and corneal pigmented lesions. Histopathologic and confocal scanning findings of these lesions were compatible with the diagnosis of underlying systemic disease.


CONCLUSIONS
To our knowledge, we report the first case of cornea directly involved by LP and ophthalmic presentations of LPP.
