Articles not related to children population were excluded. Findings: In epidemiological review most of cases in children usually were between the age of 3 and 15 years. Females are affected more than males. The etiology of LS is still unknown.in one article there is an increasing incidence in spring and summer. seasonal variation with a peak incidence of lichen striatus further suggests a viral origin. The histologic pattern of LS is well defined. A perivascular inflammatory is seen. A lichenoid pattern with inflammatory infiltrate near the dermoepidermal junction may be present. clinical and histologic findings overlap with other cutaneous disorder that follows the lines of blaschko.
