Clinical and dermoscopic features associated with lichen planus ‐like keratoses that undergo skin biopsy: A single‐center, observational study

ConclusionsLichen planus ‐like keratoses can be challenging to distinguish from benign and malignant skin tumors. The presence of dermoscopic scale and orange colour may aid in the recognition of lichen planus‐like keratose. Coarse peppering and the presence of peppering as the only dermoscopic feature may further aid t he identification of pigmented lichen planus‐like keratoses.
