Lichen aureus is a variant of pigmented purpuric dermatoses, which is characterized clinically by purpura with golden patches. Zaballos et al. reported that lichen aureus showed four characteristic dermoscopic features: (i) brownish or coppery-red diffuse coloration of the background; (ii) round to oval red dots, globules and patches; (iii) some gray dots; and (iv) anetwork of brownish to gray interconnected lines. No other reports have been published concerning the dermoscopic findings of lichen aureus. Here, we present three Japanese cases of lichen aureus, and evaluate the dermoscopic findings. ^e>noriki@belle.shiga-med.ac.jp
