Abstract We report a case of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) in a band‐like arrangement. The patient had a white atrophic plaque on the left breast which showed the typical histological features of LSA. One month later, the patient had developed multiple, brown‐colored plaques from the right breast to the right upper arm following the distribution of the peripheral nerve. These plaques showed the mild histological changes indicative of LSA. This band‐like arrangement of LSA appears to be unique.
