Abstract
Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) is rare, chronic, inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, affecting skin and mucous membranes. It mostly occurs in women in menopause.
Manifestation of the disease is especially in the anogenital area. Extragenital form is most often located on the trunk, neck, forehead, upper extremities, the palmar surface of the forearm or wrist.
Bullous lichen sclerosus et atrophicus is rare form of this disease. Our patient was a 65 years old woman with manifestation on the breast.
First symptoms were haemorrhagic bullae, after their healing atrophic whitish spots remained.
