Abstract
A case of lichen sclerosus that developed in a pattern corresponding to the lines of Blaschko is described. This pattern of extragenital lichen sclerosus has not, to our knowledge, previously been reported and could result from an epidermal clone with altered androgen sensitivity supporting a hormonal pathogenesis for this disease.
