Abstract
We describe two cases of vulvar lichen scleruosus et atrophicus with pruritus. One patient was a 75-year-old woman, whose clinical features included depigmentation, keratosis, erosio and purpura on the vulva, depigmentation on the perineum and the perianal skin. The other patient was a 67-year-old woman characterized by atrophic loss of vulvar architecture with a pale white appearance. Histological findings were diagnostic of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus and topical corticosteroid controled the pruritus in both of the patients.
Case 1 has not developed any maliginancy for 4 years since the onset of the disease, nor has case 2 within the last 6 years
