Abstract

Lichen sclerosus (LS) is an inflammatory chronic dermatosis with unclear etiology. It can affect all individuals with any age, although themajority of cases occur in prepubertal and perimenopausal periods. The anogenital region is predominantly affected, and the extragenitalinvolvement is uncommon in childhood. Anogenital lesions are classically pruritic and painful white or red patches; however extragenital lesionsare generally asymptomatic white papules or patches. The most common sites for extragenital lesions are trunk, neck, and axillae. Most genitalLS cases resolve spontaneously during puberty in girls; however we have limited knowledge about the prognosis of extragenital LS in children.Here, we report a case of spontaneous regression of extragenital LS in a 14-year-old girl

Özet

Liken sklerozus (LS) etiyolojisi bilinmeyen kronik enflamatuvar bir dermatozdur. Olguların büyük kısmı prepubertal ve perimenopozal dönemde olmakla beraber, hastalık her yaş grubunu etkileyebilir. Ağırlıklı olarak anogenital bölge etkilenmekte olup, ekstragenital tutulum çocuklukta nadir görülür. Anogenital lezyonlar klasik olarak kaşıntılı ve ağrılı beyaz ya da kırmızı yamalar şeklindeyken, ekstragenital lezyonlar sıklıkla asemptomatik beyaz papül ya da yamalar şeklindedir. Ekstragenital lezyonların en sık yerleştiği alanlar gövde, boyun ve aksilladır. Kızlardaki genital LS lezyonlarının çoğunluğu puberte döneminde spontan gerilerken, çocuklardaki ekstragenital LS lezyonlarının prognozuna ilişkin bilgi sınırlıdır. Burada, ekstragenital LS lezyonunda spontan regresyon görülen 14 yaşında bir kız olgu sunuldu.
