ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus rarely affects the feet or hands and in this case, it is generally part of widespread cutaneous involvement. We report a case of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus involving only the extremities and the vulvar and perigenital area. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
A 56-year-old woman presented with lesions of the hands and feet, with ivory white papules on the dorsal aspect of the feet and the distal phalanx of the fingers, a few small keratotic papules with central depressions in the hollow of the palms, erythema on soles and thenar and hypothenar eminences. Further examination revealed lichen sclerosus et atrophicus of the vulva and genitocrural skinfolds. Histological study of these various cutaneous lesions yielded similar results and revealed the typical features of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus.DISCUSSION:
A few cases of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus confined to the hands and/or feet have been reported, involving the palms and soles or nail folds, but none has so far affected the genitalia. To our knowledge, no cases of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus involving both faces of the hands and feet and the genital region have ever been reported.
