A clinical study of genital and extragenital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus

Dr Mizaj, Dr Amina Asfiya M I

Abstract :

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) is an uncommon entity that commonly affects the genital region but cases of extra genital LSA have been reported. We report eight cases of extragenital LSA and twelve cases of genital LSA. All cases of extragenital LSA presented with porcelain white macules and follicular papules. Koebnerization was observed in all cases of extragenital LSA. All cases were diagnosed clinically and supplemented with histopathology where there was follicular plugging, interface dermatitis and homogenization of dermal collagen. Cases are reported for their rarity and their varied presentation.
