Vulvar Neoplasms in 275 Women With Genital Lichen Sclerosus and Impact of Treatment: A Retrospective Chart Review

Abstract

Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic inflammatory disease most commonly affecting the genital area of women. LS-associated vulvar neoplasms are known to occur (1). Treatment of LS is thought to possibly reduce malignancy risk. However, whether medical treatment of LS can prevent vulvar neoplasms is unclear (2,3). We performed a single-institution, retrospective chart review to identify vulvar neoplasm occurrence in women with biopsy-proven genital LS and to determine whether a correlation exists between LS treatments and vulvar neoplasm occurrence.
