Abstract
Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease commonly affecting the anogenital area with less frequent extragenital occurrence. Extragenital LS cutaneous manifestations vary and precipitating factors are not well described. Recent evidence for etiology and clinical associations of extragenital LS provide insight into disease recognition and pathogenesis. Novel diagnostic techniques as well as treatment standardization have the potential to improve management of this rare condition. This review details both past and new insights into the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and treatment options of extragenital LS.
