Abstract
A case of Graham-Litt1e-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome in a 68 years old man is reported. Graham-Litt1e-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome is make up by the triad: follicular papules, typical cutaneous or mucosal lichen planus and alopecia of the scalp with or without atrophy. The cause of lichen remains unknown. Evidence currently available suggests that lichen represents a reflection of a ce11-mediated immune response. The pathogenesis of lichen involves antigen presentation to helper T-ce1ls, activated T-ceil elaboration of IL2, interferon-gamma with subsequent recruiment of more T-ce1ls and induction of keratinocytes to produce cytokins. Cytotoxic T-cells, lymphotoxins and cytokines may mediate basal cell liquefaction and other keratinocyte damage. Cyclosporine A may induce a sustained remission.
