Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic, progressive and invalidating inflammatory dermatosis affecting mainly the ano-genital skin (1) . Particularly in early stages, it is difficult to distinguish LS from other dermatoses, because both the clinical and histopathological pictures may be equivocal (2-4) . Only in few studies published to date, several different histological features of LS were discussed in the same population (2,5-8) .
