A red superficially eroded node that histologically proved to be a squamous epithelial carcinoma is encircled. Arrows mark the non-carcinomatous areas of the (chronic) lichen slcerosus.

Lichen sclerosus of the axilla: large, less symptomatic, whitish, also reddish, atrophic shiny plaque; blurred, feathered border.

Lichen sclerosus: Extragenital lichen sclerosus. Besides the depigmentation, the pergamdendral hyperkeratosis of the lesional skin is conspicuous. Clinical signs: Moderate itching and feeling of tension.

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus. extensive extragenital 'infestation with typical "leathery" changes of the skin surface due to a distinct orthohyperkeratosis in the fallen areas. the areas are brightly discolored due to orhtohyperkeratosis and the underlying "edema zone". thus the natural color of the area is lost.

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus generalized. large-area, symmetrical infestation with parchment-like skin alteration. no significant symptoms.

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus generalized. large-area infestation with parchment-like skin alteration. red wheals in places, indicating that the process is "still active".

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus. extensive infestation. extensive fresh and older bleeding.

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus, whitish shining, focal hemorrhagic, follicle-bound maculae in the area of the mamma.

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus: Acute, laminar, partly hemorrhagic blister formation with underlying traumatically engraved Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus. Very rare finding!

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus: extragenital infestation. Monotopic infestation.

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus. Extragenital involvement.

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus, pinhead-sized, whitish shiny papules, confluent in places.

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus. typical 3-zone phenomenon. orthohyperkeratosis, atrophic surface epithelium with isolated lymphocytes, vacuolic degeneration of basal epithelia, subepithelial, band-shaped homogeneous swelling zone of collagenous connective tissue. followed by a lymphocytic infiltrate, also band-shaped.
