RESUMEN Presentamos un caso de liquen aureus en una mujer joven de 22 años, rara lesión cutánea que pertenece al grupo de las dermatosis purpúricas pigmentadas, diagnosticada por biopsia, que no precisó otro tratamiento que la exéresis de la lesión y que ha tenido una evolución favorable. Es una lesión eritematosa de la piel, con aspecto de su fondo dorado, de etiología desconocida y que, por su escasa sintomatología y pronóstico benigno, muchas veces es infradiagnosticada, por lo que debe ser conocida para hacer un diagnóstico diferencial eficiente.
ABSTRACT We present the case of a 22-year-old young woman with lichen aureus, a rare skin lesion that belongs to the group of pigmented purpuric dermatosis. It was diagnosed by biopsy and did not require any other treatment than the excision of the lesion, with a favorable evolution. Lichen aureus is an erythematous skin lesion with a golden background of unknown etiology. It is often underdiagnosed because it presents few symptoms and has a benign prognosis, so it should be known to make an effective differential diagnosis.
