| description | Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is classically characterised by a mucocutaneous triad of reticulated poikiloderma, nail dystrophy and mucosal leukoplakia together with bone marrow failure and increased risk of malignancy1- 4.

We report a case of dyskeratosis congenita who presented to us with the classical triad in his late twenties after years of being treated as lichen planus. |
