Coexistence of Generalized Morphea with Histological Changes in Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus and Lichen Planus
We reported a 44‐year‐old Japanese woman with generalized multiple sclerotic plaques, which showed hisological findings of morphea. This patient also had an erosive lesion on her mouth; its histological findings were consistent with lichen planus. A sclerotic lesion on her thigh showed the histologi...

Zusammenfassung: | We reported a 44‐year‐old Japanese woman with generalized multiple sclerotic plaques, which showed hisological findings of morphea. This patient also had an erosive lesion on her mouth; its histological findings were consistent with lichen planus. A sclerotic lesion on her thigh showed the histological findings of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA). These data suggest that similar etiologic events or closely related pathologic processes are involved in morphea, lichen planus, and LSA. |
