This case report details a rare skin condition, highlighting the hypopigmented lesion and its implications.
We describe the case of an 11-year-old patient who was consulted at the Dermatology Clinic due to a linear hypopigmented skin lesion located on the right arm. The lesion appeared in the first year of life. Based on the clinical presentation, lichen striatus albus (LS) was suspected, which was later confirmed by histopathological examination. LS albus is a rare entity. The condition is usually self-resolving and does not require treatment.
