Male patients with lichen sclerosus et atrophicus exhibit a significantly higher incidence of autoimmune-related disorders and autoantibodies.
We have investigated the presence of autoimmune-related diseases and autoantibodies in twenty-five men with lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA). These patients had a significantly higher incidence of autoimmune-related disorders than a control population and a higher incidence of autoantibodies than would be expected in the normal male population.
