Abstract
Three patients showing features of both lupus erythematosus and lichen planus are described together with their histological, immunofluorescence and other investigative findings. The similarities between lupus erythematosus and lichen planus are discussed and it is suggested that these may be the result of common pathophysiological pathways.Keywords
