Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a poorly understood, chronic, inflammatory skin condition that primarily affects the anogenital region. While LS has been reported in all age groups and both sexes, it primarily affects women in the fifth to sixth decades of life with only 7% to 15% of cases occurring in children. In the pediatric setting, LS almost always affects the anogenital region with exclusive extragenital involve-ment very rarely diagnosed in childhood. ere, we preset a case of extragenital LS without anogenital involvement in a pediatric patient in order to raise awareness of this rare disease subtype.
