Penile Lichen Sclerosus and "Nevus Elasticus".

The association between penile lichen sclerosus and striking accumulation of elastic fibers in deep dermis has been described in rare reports, mostly in vulvar lesions. We describe one case of severe balanopreputial adhesions related to lichen sclerosus and this form of elastosis, with no concomitant neoplasia. Aggregates of elastic fibers were seen in deep dermis and in blood vessels. The lesion mirrors nevus elasticus and nevus elasticus vascularis - a well described cutaneous lesion with no known association with lichen sclerosus.
