Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) most commonly presents as atrophic plaques in the genital region but rarely can occur in extra-genital locations (1), reportedly present in 6% to 20% of patients. Its a pathology that can be underdiagnosed and under-treated. The diagnosis should be confirmed with a skin biopsy, and early, thorough treatment should be initiated.(2)We report a case of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus in a woman with purely cutaneous involvement.
