Abstract :
Mahboobi et al. should be commended for providing a
clear and exhaustive review of the literature on the intriguing
topic of the association of HCV infection with Lichen
Planus (1). It is somewhat surprising, however, especially for
a dermatologist such as myself, to read that the histopathology
of LP is nonspecific, but for cutaneous LP the specificity
is out of question. Actually, the reference that Mahboobi
et al. cite for this point concerns oral LP, and most of their
statements refer to the oral form of LP.
