title: Lichen sclerosus: an atypical presentation.
abstract: We describe the case of a 66-year-old Hispanic man with an atypical presentation of lichen sclerosus (LS). The unusual presentation included bilateral axilla involvement (not previously reported to our knowledge), scrotal involvement (not common in men, despite common vulvar involvement in women), and an uncommonly thick plaque on his back.
