Sumario: | Lichen aureus is a rare variant of pigmented purpura, with a chronic and benign course. It is generally asymptomatic and often occurs in the lower limbs, presenting as erythematous brownish, coppery or golden macules and/or papules.

We describe a case with a confluent morphological pattern, called agminate lichen aureus. |
