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.
硬化萎缩性苔藓(LSA)是一种病因不明的炎症性皮肤病,通常累及生殖器部位,累及生殖器外部位的情况并不常见。LSA和硬斑病在同一病变中共存的情况很少见。本研究旨在证明LSA和硬斑病可能具有相似的病理过程。我们报告一例53岁女性患者,其生殖器外病变具有LSA和硬斑病的临床表现及组织病理学特征。最后,这两种疾病可能处于同一疾病谱上。
