Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the anogenital skin that can cause significant urinary and sexual dysfunction in men, particularly by means of destructive urethral disease. LS is traditionally thought to progress from the meatus with migration along the urethra proximally, however we present a case describing an isolated bulbar urethral stricture secondary to LS. To our knowledge, this has only been reported in the literature in one previous study. Clinician recognition of LS as a potential cause of isolated bulbar urethral stricture disease is important as this has ramifications on follow up and successful management.
硬化性苔藓(LS)是一种发生于肛门生殖器皮肤的慢性炎症性疾病,可导致男性出现严重的泌尿和性功能障碍,尤其是通过破坏性尿道疾病。传统上认为LS从尿道口开始,沿尿道向近端蔓延,然而我们报告了一例描述继发于LS的孤立性球部尿道狭窄的病例。据我们所知,此前仅有一项研究在文献中报道过这种情况。临床医生认识到LS是孤立性球部尿道狭窄疾病的潜在病因很重要,因为这对后续随访和成功治疗有影响。
