Genital lichen planus (LP) forms a small but significant proportion of non-venereal genital dermatoses. Lesions of vulvovaginal LP are often asymptomatic and may be overlooked on self-examination. Clinical features are very similar to lichen sclerosus which is frequently seen in children whereas mucosal vulval LP commonly affects adult females. Histopathological examination of the lesion is an important diagnostic tool for its early diagnosis as progressive disease poses a risk of scarring. We report a case of vulvovaginal LP in a 56-year-old postmenopausal female presenting with hypopigmented patches on vulva for 10 years.
