Abstract
A normal male volunteer developed lichen planus in association with leukapheresis, with HES [hydroxyethyl starch] used to increase granulocyte yield. Although there was no direct proof of a causative relationship, the temporal association of onset of initial symptoms and HES infusion strongly supported such a conclusion.
