title: Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus of the oral mucosa.
abstract: 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.
