A case of multiple autoimmune syndrome comprising autoimmune thyroid disease, vitiligo, morphea, and lichen sclerosus
We report a unique case of a 55-year-old female patient that presented with four autoimmune diseases: autoimmune thyroid disease, vitiligo, morphea, and lichen sclerosus. She was evaluated for progression of morphea and lichen sclerosus, and we confirmed histopathological overlapping of these two diseases in the same lesion. We discuss the increasing prevalence of autoimmune diseases and similar case reports on dermatological polyautoimmunity.PMID:38606648 (Source: Acta Dermatovenerologica Alpina, Panonica, et Adriatica)

112. Racial Differences in the Diagnosis of Juvenile Vulvar Lichen Sclerosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Juvenile anogenital lichen sclerosus (JVLS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition diagnosed visually by identifying skin changes including white patches, shiny and wrinkled skin, fissures and/or petechiae. Recent years have seen increasing recognition of the underrepresentation of skin of color in medical training and dermatology textbooks. Whether this gap in racially comprehensive dermatologic training resources is associated with disparities in the diagnosis of JVLS in people of color remains unknown.

Perioperative care pathway for vulvar reconstruction: a case series
Vulvar reconstructive surgery is performed for a variety of indicated etiologies. Labial, vulvar, and clitoral adhesions may be caused by vulvar dermatologic conditions such as lichen sclerosus and lichen planus in addition to hypoestrogenic state. Other etiologies of abnormal vulvar anatomy include genital and birth trauma, and female genital mutilation. There is currently no recommended perioperative management following vulvar reconstructive surgery, leading to varied postoperative management and patient counseling, which may contribute to the wide range of recurrence (0-55%).

Vulval dermatoses: A review of referrals to dermatology
Australas J Dermatol. 2024 Mar 13. doi: 10.1111/ajd.14232. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe undertook a retrospective observational review of patients referred to a tertiary dermatology department with vulval complaints over 12 months. The most common provisional diagnoses made by the referrer and final dermatology diagnoses were lichen sclerosus (54% and 38%), dermatitis (12.7% and 16.5%) and psoriasis (5.1% and 6.3%). Referrers may benefit from further education about skin diseases of the vulva, topical steroids for vulval complaints and the importance of clinical photography.PMID:38480994 | DOI:10.1111/ajd.14232 (Source...
