“…Hypertrophic LP of vulvae is rare, and presents with hyperkeratotic white plaques involving vulvae, perineum, and perianal area, which sometimes gives an appearance similar to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of vulva with incidence seen in 3% of cases. [ 7 ] Hypertrophic LP of vulva may be associated with HCV, autoimmune disorders, alopecia areata, and coeliac disease. [ 7 ] In lichen planopilaris,[ 4 ] follicular keratotic papules are limited to the hair-bearing labia majora and mons pubis but can involve scalp, trunk, and extremities.…”

Lichen planus (LP) is an inflammatory dermatosis which can affect the skin, nails, and all mucous membranes, including the genitalia. Lichen planus on vulvar keratinized skin can manifest with diverse clinical features, probably due to higher temperature, PH, humidity, and bacterial flora which may modify typical cutaneous features. While lichen planus (LP) may affect the vulva in isolation, it may also be part of generalized outbreak in up to 20% cases. Herein, a case of a 53 year-old female who presented with a severely pruritic plaque over labia majora Since 6 -7 months, with no response to potent topical corticosteroids is reported. Provisional diagnosis of lichen simplex chronicus was considered however, histopathology was suggestive of hypertrophic lichen planus.

Красный плоский лишай (КПЛ) вульвы как изолированное поражение или проявление распространенного КПЛ может характеризоваться типичными для этого дерматоза полигональными папулами или атипичными: пигментными, эрозивными, гипертрофическими элементами [1-3]. Среди атипичных форм КПЛ вульвы наиболее редкой является гипертрофическая. Обычно гипертрофическая форма КПЛ проявляется зудящими фиолетовыми папулами и полигональными бляшками с сеткой Уэкхема на поверхности, поражающими преимущественно нижние конечности-голени, а также голеностопные и межфаланговые суставы. При этом характерные для КПЛ гистологические признаки, такие как гипергранулез и базальноклеточная вакуольная дегенерация, могут отсутствовать [4]. Это обстоятельство следует учитывать при гистологическом подтверждении данной формы КПЛ. Усложняет гистологическую диагностику

“…[ 3 ] and Job et al . [ 4 ] In the publication by Mahajan et al .,[ 3 ] hypertrophic vulval LP presented as a soft, well-defined hyperpigmented plaque elaborating multiple follicular openings that covered almost the entire mucosal aspect of the right labia majora. Job et al .,[ 4 ] however, demonstrated multiple, asymptomatic, grouped, coalescing hyperpigmented fleshy papulonodules on the vulva, simulating genital warts as the hallmark finding.…”
