Lupus erythematosus (LE) and lichen planus (LP) are usually seen as individual entities. Their overlap comprises patients who have clinical, histological and/or immunopathological characteristics of both diseases simultaneously. This rare syndrome has been associated with certain other disorders e.g. vitiligo, pemphigus foliaceus, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Reynold’s syndrome. We report a case of LE/LP overlap associated with hypothyroidism.ÂReferences
