Abstract

Vulvar lichen sclerosis is a rare dermatosis in childhood. Clinical signs may be confused with sexual abuse, so differential diagnosis requires careful evaluation, especially during childhood. In this report, we present a case of lichen sclerosis who was referred to Child Advocacy Center with an initial diagnosis of sexual abuse. The diagnostic work-up included a multidiciplinary approach.
