ABSTRACT
Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus is a benign, chronic inflammatory dermatosis with multifactorial origin. It is most common in the vulvar and perianal areas, but it may involve any other area, rarely face, oral mucosa, and palm and sole. Especially, lichen sclerosus et atrophicus on face is more difficult in diagnosis due to atypical location and may be confused with morphea, discoid lupus erythematosus, vitiligo, and atophic scar. We, herein, present a case of facial lichen sclerosus et atrophicus with central brownish atrophic change in a 21-year-old man. The lesion showed atypical clinical feature and unusual location. But histologic examination revealed typical features of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus.
