Summary: Introduction: Actinic lichen planus (ALP) is a chronic and benign disease that affects young people of the Middle East and Maghreb countries. Purpose: To analyse clinical features and prognosis of ALP in children. Patients and methods: A retrospective, descriptive study of cases observed in the department of dermatology of Sfax hospital over a period of 11years (1995–2005). Results: Our patients were 5boys and 1girl. Mean age at diagnosis was 11years. Onset was during the summer in 5cases. The face was involved in 5cases and the upper limb in 3cases. The annular form was found in 5cases, the pigmented melasma-like form in 1. Cheilitis was associated in 3 cases. Treatment consisted in photoprotection in all the patients. Antimalaria drugs were used in 4patients and topical steroids in 2. Evolution was favourable in 5cases. Disease relapsed in one child after treatment interruption. Conclusion: ALP can be seen during childhood. Ultraviolet rays are involved in pathogenesis. The annular form is predominant. Treatment is based on sun protection associated with antimalarials or topical steroids. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
