title: [Sclerotic and atrophic lichen of the genitals in boys].
abstract: Sclerotic and atrophic lichen (LSA) is a rare condition in boys. A retrospective analysis of boys who underwent circumcision for medical reasons, revealed that nine out of 59 boys had histologically verified LSA. The condition thus appears to be a relatively frequent cause of phimosis in children.
