To the Editor: Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic, inflammatory disorder that may lead to anogenital malignancy and scarring. 1,2 The pathophysiology is poorly understood; although autoantibodies targeting extracellular matrix 1 protein and the basement membrane zone have been identified, experts favor a T-cellemediated pathogenesis. 1,2 Small studies show an association with thyroid disorders, vitiligo, and psoriasis. [1][2][3] Increased risk of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma is also reported, with a lifetime incidence of 0.4% to 6% in women with LS. 4 We sought to determine the prevalence of these commonly cited comorbidities in the largest cohort of women with LS to date.The study population included patients in the IBM MarketScan Databases from 2015 to 2017 with 2 or more independent diagnoses of LS (International Classification of Diseases, 10th RevisioneClinical Modification L90.0). This database comprises more than 21.7 million commercially insured women in the United States. The study population was compared to a control group of women without LS. Stata statistical analysis software version 15.0 (StataCorp, College Station, TX) was used to examine the prevalences of Hashimoto disease/chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis/autoimmune thyroiditis, Graves disease/thyrotoxicosis, vitiligo, psoriasis, and vulvar carcinoma. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. A P value of \.05 was considered significant.We identified 10,004 women with LS and 21,672,016 female control individuals without LS from 2015 to 2017 in the United States. The mean age was 50.8 years; 79% were between 45 and 65 years old. The rates of comorbid conditions are shown in Table I. In the LS population, the prevalences were as follows: autoimmune thyroid diseases, 6.11%; vitiligo, 1.95%; psoriasis, 5.12%; and vulvar carcinoma, 1.9%. All comorbidities were more likely to occur in patients with LS compared to control individuals (Table II). The most commonly associated autoimmune disease was hypothyroidism, with a prevalence of 4.26%. Notably, vulvar carcinoma was 26 times more likely and vitiligo was 12 times more likely to occur in patients with LS.We identified only 4 studies that examined the rates of similar comorbidities in LS.
