“…Women seem more affected than men, with a reported female: male ratio between 3:1 and 10:1; however, an equal gender distribution was observed in a Greek general hospital (Wallace 1971;Meffert 1995;Leibovitz 2000;Jensen 2012;Kyriakis 2007;Garcia-Bravo 1988;Steigleder 1976;).…”

Lichen sclerosus (LS) is an inflammatory skin disease that usually involves the anogenital area. All patients with symptoms or signs suspicious of lichen sclerosus should be seen at least once initially by a physician with a special interest in the disease in order to avoid delay in diagnosis, as early treatment may cure the disease in some and reduce or prevent scarring. The diagnosis is made clinically in most cases. Biopsies should only be performed under certain circumstances. The gold standard for treatment remains potent to very potent topical steroids; however, mild and moderate disease in boys and men may be cured by circumcision. Certain triggers should be avoided.

“…Nous te nons à ajouter qu'à la surface de la muqueuse vulvaire ainsi atrophiée, peut apparaître parfois un certain nombre de plaques de leucoplasie, lésions d'âge différent nous l'ont m ontré, avec une régularité quasischématique. Les lésions les plus significatives, qu'on pourrait considérer pour ainsi dire pathognomoniques de cette affection, commencent toujours au niveau de la couche papillaire et du derme superficiel, pour s'étendre par la suite au chorion proprem ent dit [7,15,20].…”

“…Despite the clinicopathological differences, a close relationship between LSA and localized scleroderma has been reported (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14), because histological changes similar to those of lSA have often been recognized in localized scleroderma (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11), and the association ofthese two diseases was observed in the same region (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12) or in different regions of the same patients (3,(13)(14)(15). These previous studies suggest that both diseases reflect the same disease entity.…”

We report a case of the linear type of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA). The patient had linear atrophic lesions from the left upper back to the left hand. Histological findings obtained from the upper back were those of typical LSA. Histology of the forearm showed mild changes suggestive of LSA. There were no histological features suggesting any association with localized scleroderma in either specimen. The relation between LSA and localized scleroderma is unclear at present. This case suggests that there is a linear form in LSA as already recognized in localized scleroderma.
