Abstract
Lichen aureus is a variant of pigmented purpuric dermatoses. The usual histology of lichen aureus is characterized by a subepidermal dense, band‐like lymphocytic infiltrate, extravasated erythrocytes and hemosiderin deposits. We report three patients with lichen aureus on the extremities with similar clinical, dermoscopic and histopathological findings characterized by a dense band‐like relatively deep dermal infiltrate accompanied by extravasation of erythrocytes and hemosiderin deposits occasioning a resemblance to a lymphoproliferative disorder.
