Agree with lichen nitidus for clinicopathological correlation.

Increased the vasculature at the papillary gave me the impression of APACHE. But still being very focal and the clinical picture are in favour of lichen nitidus.

The pattern of changes consists with lichen nitidus histologically but the clinical features are keratotic papules of childhood onset. Would add PRP with lichen nitidus-like histology features as a differential diagnosis that requires clinical correlations as latter is rare.

Good suggestions. We also considered lichen nitidus but felt the features were more in keeping with Flegel's (hyperkeratosis lenticularis perstans).

I'd like to thank Dr Domenico Mesiano for sharing this case.
