  Fig. 1 (A) Well-demarcated hypopigmented patches without surface changes on the right abdomen. (B) Multiple hypopigmented papules and plaques occurring with atrophic surface change and hardening on the left abdomen. The lesions shown in both (A) and (B) had occurred spontaneously 3 years ago. (C) Histology demonstrates marked fibrosis with edema in the upper dermis, suggesting lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (H&E, ×40). (D) Higher magnification shows epidermal hyperkeratosis, superficial perivascular lymphohistiocytic infiltrate, and homogenization of the dermal collagen in the superficial dermis (H&E, ×100).
