Reflectance confocal microscopy for non‐invasive diagnosis of childhood‐onset vulvar lichen sclerosus: A retrospective study

Male genital lichen sclerosus in a pediatric case: A focus on the reflectance confocal microscopy presentation

“…RCM can noninvasively observe changes in skin cell levels, and previous studies have suggested a high corresponding relationship between RCM images and histopathological features in the LS of females and male adults. [3][4][5] However, few studies have investigated pediatric MGLSc. In our study, the RCM images of the boy revealed major key diagnostic features of LS, including a significantly reduced number of scanned layers, the destruction of dermal papillary rings, numerous cellular structures, coarse fibrous material, and the diffuse distribution of dilated canalicular structures in the upper dermis.…”
