Lichenoid keratosis is a benign skin condition.
It is also known as lichen planus-like keratosis.
General
- Caucasians - middle age or older.
- May be a variant of seborrheic keratosis (with marked inflammation).[1]
Clinical DDx:[1]
- Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, melanocytic neoplasm.
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- Hyperkeratosis.
- Parakeratosis.
- Band of inflammatory cells at DE junction (lichenoid inflammation).
- Dead keratinocytes (Civatte bodies).
- Dermal melanophages.
DDx:
- Lichen planus - need clinical correlation (mucosal lesions).
- Drug reaction.
- Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
- Regressed melanocytic lesion, esp. malignant melanoma.
- Lichenoid actinic keratosis - has atypical hyperchromatic basal cells - esp. at edge of lesion, usu. in the context of solar elastosis.
