Coexistence of Lichen Sclerosus Et Atrophicus and Morphea in the Same Lesion: A Case Report

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) is an inflammatory dermatosis of unknown etiology, usually affecting the genital region, with extragenital involvement being uncommon. The coexistence of LSA and morphea in the same lesion is rare. The present study aims to demonstrate that LSA and morphea might...

description Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) is an inflammatory dermatosis of unknown etiology, usually affecting the genital region, with extragenital involvement being uncommon. The coexistence of LSA and morphea in the same lesion is rare. The present study aims to demonstrate that LSA and morphea might share similar pathologic processes. We present a case of a 53-year-old female patient with extragenital lesions with clinical appearance and histopathological features of both LSA and morphea. Finally, the two diseases might lie on the same disease spectrum.
