Abstract
Four children with symptomless or ''idiopthic'' atrophy of the nails were studied. There were no other cutaneous signs. A longitudinal nail biopsy was performed on each patient and demonstrated active lichen planus in three cases and changes consistent with scarring lichen planus in the fourth.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
