1/6. Linear oro-facial lichen sclerosus.Lichen sclerosus is a depigmenting mucocutaneous disorder that most frequently affects the female genitalia. Lichen sclerosus affecting the oral mucosa is extremely rare. Oral lesions are asymptomatic but cosmetically unacceptable. We report here a case of lichen sclerosus presenting with a linear lesion over the nose that extended to involve the philtrum and the upper lip with intraoral extension up to the gingiva. Treatment with a short course of oral and intralesional corticosteroids resulted in partial resolution of the lesions.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = lichen sclerosus, sclerosus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/6. Oral lichen sclerosus et atrophicus: a case report.lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease usually affecting the female genitalia. Involvement of the oral mucosa is extremely rare but is sometimes the only manifestation of the disease. A review of the literature has disclosed only 10 histopathologically verified cases of oral LSA. We present another case with a solitary oral LSA lesion and summarize the current knowledge about this rare oral mucosal lesion.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.7736870924906keywords = lichen sclerosus, sclerosus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/6. lichen sclerosus et atrophicus of the oral mucosa.lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) is a relatively uncommon dermatitis mainly affecting the vulva. Oral involvement appears to be rare. A case of oral LSA without concurrent genital or skin lesions in a patient with vitiligo and hyperthyroidism is described, together with a review of the literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.21927422924502keywords = sclerosus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/6. lichen sclerosus et atrophicus.A case of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) involving the oral mucosa is described. The lesion began in the labial mucosa with extension to the gingiva and to the skin. The frequency of occurrence of oral lesions of LSA is discussed, and a histopathologic comparison with skin lesions is made.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.35787744505641keywords = lichen sclerosus, sclerosus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/6. lichen sclerosus et atrophicus involving the oral mucosa: report of two cases.lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) is a relatively rare dermatosis of unknown etiology. The disease is clinically characterized by white, macular lesions on the skin, and is usually associated with an atrophic condition affecting the vulva and peri-anal skin. Involvement of the oral mucosa with or without concurrent genital or skin lesions has been reported only occasionally in the literature. In the present paper two new cases of oral LSA are presented, which were, in fact, the only manifestation of the disease. Furthermore, the epidemiologic, etiologic, clinical and histopathologic aspects of oral LSA are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.21927422924502keywords = sclerosus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/6. lichen sclerosus et atrophicus of the oral cavity: report of two cases.lichen sclerosus et atrophicus is a depigmenting mucocutaneous disease most frequently affecting the female genitalia. Genital lesions are symptomatic and may be functionally debilitating. Oral lesions are of little significance other than the esthetic concerns of perioral lesions. In view of the rarity of reported cases, one lesion of the labial mucocutaneous area and a second of the palate are presented along with a description of the disease's clinical and histopathologic findings and a brief review of the literature. The lip lesion was partially resolved with topical corticosteroids and was then fully eliminated with topical testosterone. Histologic verification and examination for the simultaneous occurrence or absence of oral and the more common genital-cutaneous lesions is essential if meaningful information in the medical-dental literature is to be obtained in the future.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.21927422924502keywords = sclerosus (Clic here for more details about this article) |
