Lupus erythematosus-lichen planus (LE-LP) overlap syndrome is an uncommon disorder with clinical, histological and/or immunopathological features of both diseases. We report a case of LE-LP overlap syndrome in a patient with HIV infection. To the best of our knowledge, LE-LP overlap syndrome with HIV infection has never been reported in literature.
