    Abstract

    Lichen planus-like or lichenoid eruptions from certain drugs and compounds can closely mimic idiopathic lichen planus. The patient's history and physical examination, histopathologic criteria, and certain tests can assist in the differentiation between a lichenoid drug eruption and idiopathic lichen planus and in the identification of the offending drug.
