Verrucous carcinoma(VC) is regarded as a rare, histologic variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus(LSA) is chronic dermatosis characterized by atrophic white papules or plaques, occurring most commonly on the anogenital skin of both sexes. Genital LSA has been associated with the development of invasive carcinoma, and the most common is SCC. There have been only a few reports of VC within a lesion of penile LSA. We now report a case of VC arising in penile LSA.

Cases of coexistent lichen sclerosus et artrophicus and morphea have been reported. It is controversial that both diseases are single disease-spectrum or entirely separated. We encounterd a forty five year old female with a hypopigmented firm plaque on the left neck. Its histologic feature showed compact orthokeratosis, follicular plugging, atrophy of the stratum malpighii with vacuolar alteration of basal layer, and homogenization of the collagen in the upper dermis (lichen sclerosus et atrophicus). Increased thick collagen bundles were seen in the lower dermis (morphea).

Morphea is an autoimmune condition characterized by excessive accumulation of collagen in the skin and underlying tissues. Lichen sclerosus (LS) is another connective tissue disease for which an autoimmune cause has been proposed, given the high association with other autoimmune diseases. The coexistence of morphea and lichen sclerosus has been sometimes reported in the literature, and is suggestive of a common pathogenic background between the two diseases. Among various types of morphea, generalized morphea has been associated with an increased rate of autoimmune disease, including LS. We report a case of extragenital LS during the progression of linear morphea into generalized morphea.

Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease, usually affecting the female genitalia. Involvement of the oral mucosa is rare, however, it is sometimes the only manifestation of the disease without concurrent genital or skin lesions. We present a case of lichen sclerosus et atrophicus affecting which arrected the lower lip only. We briefly reviewed pertinent literature.
