Résumé

Skin sclerosis is a hallmark of morphea (localized scleroderma), lichen sclerosus (LiS) and systemic sclerosis (SSc). Genital LiS is significantly more frequent in patients with morphea [1], but its prevalence in patients with SSc is unknown. The aim of this prospective multicenter study was to determine the prevalence of LiS in a cohort of patients with SSc, and to compare it to an age-and sex-matched control group.
