Summary:Abstract Annular lichenoid dermatitis of youth is a lichenoid dermatosis of unknown etiology. It mostly affects children and adolescents and has well-defined clinical and histological characteristics that permit a diagnosis. We present 2 new cases of annular lichenoid dermatitis of youth with classical clinical features in 2 girls, aged 2 and 4 years. The histologic findings, however, differed from those reported in the literature in that the lichenoid inflammatory infiltrate was located primarily at the top of the dermal papillae and not at the tips of the rete ridges. In both cases, the lesions regressed spontaneously without treatment.
