A bullous lesion of coexisting lichen sclerosus and morphea: An unusual case report in Thai patient
Keywords:
coexisting of lichen sclerosus and morphea, lichen sclerosus, morpheaAbstract
Lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis with anogenital and extraanogenital manifestations. Morphea is a connective tissue disease characterized by sclerosis of the skin and underlying tissues. The coexistence of lichen sclerosus and morphea has sporadically been reported in the literatures. The most reported cases were presented in different locations. We report a case of a 21-year-old-Thai woman that presented as unusual bullous lesion from the coexisting of lichen sclerosus and morphea in the same one.
