This study was conducted to examine the clinicopathological features and treatment outcome of the two conditions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A retrospective medical chart review of all patients who were diagnosed with lichen planus pigmentosus or ashy dermatosis was conducted. The information collected included the participants\u2019 age at onset, site of onset, duration of disease, presence of precipitating factors, distribution of disease, pigmentation and presence of symptoms. In patients from whom a biopsy was taken the histopathological reports were included.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Altogether 26 patients with ashy dermatosis and 29 with lichen planus pigmentosus were included in the study. Compared with ashy dermatosis, lichen planus pigmentosus had a more localised distribution with a preponderance for facial involvement, compared with the truncal preponderance in ashy dermatosis. Ashy dermatosis tended to have a more stable clinical course than lichen planus pigmentosus, which was more likely to wax and wane. The utility of histopathology in differentiating between the two conditions is low.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Ashy dermatosis and lichen planus pigmentosus, as defined in this study, appear to be two separate clinical entities with distinguishable clinical features and natural histories.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ajd.12813","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,10]],"date-time":"2018-04-10T23:34:40Z","timestamp":1523403280000},"page":"322-327","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["A retrospective clinico\u2010pathological study comparing lichen planus pigmentosus with ashy dermatosis"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7349-2948","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hui Mei","family":"Cheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology National Skin Centre Singapore City Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sai Yee","family":"Chuah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology National Skin Centre Singapore City Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily Yiping","family":"Gan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology National Skin Centre Singapore City Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anjali","family":"Jhingan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology National Skin Centre Singapore City Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steven Tien Guan","family":"Thng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology National Skin Centre Singapore City Singapore"},{"name":"Department of Material Science and Engineering Nanyang Technological University Singapore City Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","unstructured":"RamirezC.Los cenicientos: Problema Clinica.
