Lichen planus is a papulosquamous eruption whith numerous clinical variants. One of these variants is bullous lichen planus in which vesicles and blisters develop originating from lichen planus papules, or rarely in normal-looking skin. Due to formation of blisters, differential diagnosis includes lichen planuspemphigoid, bullous pemphigoid, pemphigus vulgaris, erythema multiforme and herpes virus infection, therefore histopathological examination is essential for a definitive diagnosis. Teatment includes topical and systemic steroids, systemic retinoids, phototherapy, antimalarials and immunosuppressive agents. We report the case of a child with clinical diagnosis of bullous lichen planus confirmed by histopathology,emphazise the importance of this rare variant and demonstrating the adequate response to treatment with oral steroid.
