Clinical Image

A 71-year-old, uncircumcised man developed phimosis and decreased penile sensitivity (Figure 1). After observing his hardened foreskin, Lichen Sclerosus ET Atrophicus (LSA) was thought to be the most probable disease, hence circumcision was performed. The foreskin exhibited atrophy and hardening in the central area (Figure 2). Histologically, it showed collagen sclerosis in the dermis and dermal lymphocytic infiltration, and was consequently diagnosed as LSA.
