Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus in a vaccination site

It has also been reported at a vaccination site (Anderton & Abele 1976), in skin previously treated with radiotherapy (Yates et al 1985) and on a congenital haemangioma (Ostlere et al 1996). Weigand (1993), prompted by finding histological features identical to those of lichen sclerosus in some large skin tags, has suggested that occlusion and pressure may be factors in the development of lichen sclerosus.…”

Extragenital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus within a skin graft scar

“…Few case reports are available supporting this concept, with LSA found within postirradiation sites, cholecystectomy scars, vaccination sites, jellyfish stings, herpes zoster scars, sun burns, sites of friction, and injection sites among others. 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 Although various inciting events have been documented, we believe this patient to be the first documented case of LSA involving a skin graft donor site.…”

“…A preceding infection is sup posed to play a provocative or localizing role in some cases of the geni tal affection. LSA has been reported in a vaccination site [1] and follow ing trauma [2]. We have diagnosed LSA in two scars.…”
