Results: Lichen planus occurred in all age groups but commonly seen in middle age to elderly. Equal male and female distribution, majority (28.2%), of patients presented as hypopigmented papule, 79% had hypergranulosis in histology, commonly seen in the lower extremities and clinico- histolpathological correlation diagnostic accuracy was 41.1%.
