U046 Knowing Lichenoid Dermatoses: Common Pathways and Treatments
DESCRIPTION
Open admission to eligible categories, no tuition or ticket
Lichenoid dermatoses include a broad spectrum of diseases with overlapping clinical and histological features. However, it remains unclear whether distinct lichenoid dermatoses such as lichen planus, lichen sclerosus and immune checkpoint-induced lichenoid dermatoses share a common immunopathogenesis. This session will provide a cutting-edge overview on the immunopathogenesis of lichenoid dermatoses with particular emphasis on lichen planus, lichen sclerosus, and immune checkpoint induced lichenoid dermatoses. The session will highlight recent advances in our understanding of these related lichenoid dermatoses as systemic diseases and discuss current and emerging therapeutic options for the practicing dermatologist.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Summarize the current evidence for distinct and shared pathogenesis mechanisms of lichenoid dermatoses.
Describe the significant clinical burden of lichen sclerosus and practical approaches for diagnosis and treatment.
Discuss new upcoming treatments for lichen planus, lichen sclerosus and immune-checkpoint induced-lichenoid dermatoses.
