What is Linear Morphea Overlying Site of Previous Lichen Aureus in a Pediatric Patient about?

Lichen aureus is a pigmented purpuric dermatosis that tends to occur on the lower extremities, and linear morphea is an inflammatory disease of the dermis and subcutaneous fat that leads to a scarlike induration. We present a pediatric case of linear morphea developing in the same anatomic distribution as prior lichen aureus. Due to the possible progression of lichen aureus to morphea described herein and the difficulty in diagnosing early morphea, close follow-up may be considered for pediatric patients who present with this pigmented purpuric dermatosis.
