Abstract
Four children with symptomless or ''idiopthic'' atrophy of the nails were studied. There were no other cutaneous signs. A longitudinal nail biopsy was performed on each patient and demonstrated active lichen planus in three cases and changes consistent with scarring lichen planus in the fourth.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
