Abstract

We report a case of Lichen planus in a female patient who has been treated for epilepsy in the Referral Center for Epilepsy of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Croatia. She was diagnosed with mesio-temporal lobe epilepsy with secondary generalization and had been treated for years with carbamazepine. In Novemeber 2009, erythematous papulosquamous papules were noticed on her trunk and under her breasts which spread to her legs. Dermatohistological testing confirmed the diagnosis of Lichen planus. Replacement of carbamazepine with oxcarbazepine and application of steroid therapy resulted in regression of skin changes.
