Lichen sclerosus et atrophic (LSA) is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease of unknown etiology. It has been linked to various immunological, genetic, hormonal, infectious and traumatic factors. Its usual location is the genital area. Extra-genital forms are infrequent and usually involve trunk, neck, and extremities. We present the case of a 14 years old female with lichen sclerosus et atrophic of extragenital localization.

Keywords : lichen sclerosus et atrophicus; extra genital localization; extra genital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus..
