Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) is a rare chronic variant of lichen planus. LPP distribution tends to be symmetrical and is frequently seen on the face, neck, and trunk. Atypical clinical patterns of LPP, including segmental, zosteriform, and linear, were reported in the literature. Herein, we report a rare presentation of LPP in a 16- year-old female with a unilateral linear pattern along the Blascko lines.
