Abstract
Although leukoderma acquisitum centrifugum has usually been described in association with pigmented nevi, a survey of the literature reveals that this condition occurs with psoriasis,1 senile verruca,2 fibroma,3 papular sarcoid1 and vascular nevus.4 Feldman and Lashinsky5 have recently reviewed the literature and reported five cases in which leukoderma acquisitum centrifugum occurred in association with moles. For this association they suggested the name halo nevus. No report could be found in the literature of the occurrence of leukoderma acquisitum centrifugum in association with lichen planus. The following case is therefore believed to be of interest: REPORT OF CASE Mrs. H.
