s. Lichen planus classic type. Lichen planus with anular formations. The Lichen planus anularis can occur as a single focus, but also polytopic or within a generalized Lichen planus. Anular structures are formed by centrifugal growth of a single focus (cf. granuloma anular, anular sarcoidosis and others). Anular growth patterns are also frequently found in the lichen planus actinicus.
