Özet
Abstract: Liken sklerozus; daha çok genital alanda ve kadınlarda görülen, sebebi tam olarak bilinmeyen, kronik, inflamatuar, mukokütanöz bir hastalıktır. Asemptomatik seyredebileceği gibi, kaşıntı, skar ve malignite gelişimi gibi durumlara yol açabilir. Tanı klinik olarak konur, fakat bazı durumlarda biyopsi almak gerekebilir. Biyopside; beklenen tipik bulguların yanında, hücresel atipisi olan hastalar skuamöz hücreli karsinom (SCC) gelişimi açısından riskli kabul edilirler. Burada sunulan 49 yaşında bir kadın hastada uzun süren inatçı genital kaşıntı ve sonrasında o bölgede gelişen tümoral oluşum nedeni ile alınan biyopsi sonucunda SCC tespit edilmiştir. Liken sklerozus zemininde gelişebilecek maligniteler açısından geç kalmamak ve daha dikkatli olabilmek açısından vakanın paylaşılması uygun görülmüştür
Abstract: Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic, inflammatory disease which is mostly located to genital region, usually in women. Etiology of the disease is not exactly understood. It can be asymptomatic or it may also cause itching, scarring or malignity development. Diagnosis of LS is clinical but in some cases, a biopsy may be necessary. The cases who have cellular atypia besides the expected usual findings in the biopsy are considered to be risky for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) development. Here in this case, the biopsy result from a forty-nine-year-old female patient with a complaint of resistant genital itching and afterwards development of a small tumoral structure has shown SCC findings. We presented this case for taking attentions to the malignity risk on the basis of LS and promoting alertness and early diagnosis
