“…In contrast, British clinicians have described a case of a 14-year-old girl with asymptomatic extragenital LS arising from moderate sunburn and subsequent sun exposure. 54 This case may give rise to caution with the use of UVA in LS. More significantly, the potential for inducing melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer arising from the long-term effects of UVA1 phototherapy and PUVA is also a significant concern, particularly in light of the welldocumented association of vulval LS and SCC.…”

Lichen sclerosus (LS) in children is uncommon; however, it is an important differential diagnosis in any pre-pubertal child presenting with chronic vulval symptoms. The long-term prognosis is unknown; however, recent data suggests that the assumption that the condition will resolve at puberty may be incorrect. Children with LS require long-term management with topical corticosteroids, which remains the treatment of choice, as well as long-term follow up. We review the current literature on paediatric vulval LS.

A 67-year-old woman presented with a firm plaque in the perineal region, 16 months after diagnosis of a high-grade basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the vagina and treatment by external beam radiation therapy and vaginal cuff brachytherapy. The differential diagnosis included radiation-induced morphea, radiation dermatitis, or, possibly, radiation-induced lichen sclerosus. Biopsy findings, including special staining, confirmed the diagnosis of radiation-induced lichen sclerosus. To our knowledge, this is the first report of radiation-induced lichen sclerosus of the vulvar region.
