Risk factors for cancer development in women with lichen sclerosus remain largely unknown. The importance of chronic inflammation and scarring in oncogenesis is well recognized. Lichen Sclerosus. To date, this study on VSCC risk in women with lichen sclerosus is the largest study including more than 3,000 women with histology-proven lichen sclerosus. Thank you for sharing this Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention article.

B, Basilar atypia away from the tips of rete ridges (arrows) differentiates dVIN from hypertrophic LP (H&E ×200). Download : Download full-size image; Figure 8. We performed a clinicohistopathologic review of consecutive vulvectomies and wide local excisions for HPV-independent vulvar or vaginal SCC from 2007 to 2017. Lichen sclerosus is an HPV-independent etiopathogenic factor in some types of usual and verrucous penile SCC, with differentiated PIN and squamous cell hyperplasia being the histological variants associated with and implicated in carcinogenesis. Lichen Simplex Chronicus (Formerly Squamous Cell Hyperplasia or Hyperplastic Dystrophy) Clinical Features. Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of vulvar carcinoma, May 2014. Possible lichen sclerosus included cases with interface dermatitis that could fit with an early phase of lichen sclerosus. The variety in histopathologic features in dVIN is diverse ranging from atrophic to verruciform variants (10, 12). Overbeek, Study supervision: M.C. J Low Genit Tract Dis 20(2): 180-183. 5. During postoperative follow-up, 8 additional women received diagnoses of LS by punch biopsy, 6 (75%) of whom were treated. Majocchi’s granuloma 6. Instead, codes like inflammation or reactive changes could have been used, resulting in missed cases of lichen sclerosus.

We do not retain these email addresses. The authors have declared they have no conflicts of interest. To obtain more insight in the clinical relevance of prevalent versus incident VSCCs, further studies are needed, for instance on the association with FIGO stage at the time of VSCC diagnosis. Cases of a lichenoid pattern that lacked diagnostic features of LS or LP were labeled nonspecific lichenoid reaction. Complications of lichen sclerosus include painful sex, urinary retention, constipation and an inability to retract the foreskin. People with lichen sclerosus are also at an increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the affected area. By Mayo Clinic Staff Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Somatic Mutation Profiling in Premalignant Lesions of Vulvar Squamous Cell Carcinoma. A higher risk of VSCC in elderly age groups was also found by others (23). Regauer S, Reich O, Eberz B. Vulvar cancer in women with vulvar lichen planus: a clinicopathological study. The best data to reflect our results are described in a lichen sclerosus review published in 1999 by Powell and Wojnarowska who refer to an unpublished study on the incidence of lichen sclerosus in a cohort of 17,000 women with long-term follow-up (18). Carlson BC, Hofer MD, Ballek N, Yang XJ, Meeks JJ, Gonzalez CM. A likely explanation of the low number of dVIN diagnosed is misclassification into lichen sclerosis, mild dysplasia, reactive changes or inflammatory dermatosis because of overlapping histologic features. Bleeker, P.J. Prognostic factors for vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) in women with lichen sclerosus (LS). Van de Nieuwenhof and colleagues., who studied lichen sclerosus cases that progressed to VSCC, found that 42% of the biopsies initially diagnosed as lichen sclerosus were reclassified as dVIN after revision (9). Although the etiology of VSCC is not yet fully understood, it is recognized to be heterogeneous. Pathologic assessment of peritumoral dermatoses and precursor lesions is challenging and presents many opportunities for misdiagnosis. At times, particularly when the patient is scratching her skin, lichen sclerosus may also be associated with lichen simplex chronicus (squamous cell hyperplasia). A preoperative diagnosis was associated with postoperative documentation of LS (13/18 [72%] vs 7/25 [28%], p = .006) but no significant difference in treatment. Age at lichen sclerosus (LS) and vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) diagnosis. Any case with previous or concurrent high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion and/or positive p16 was excluded. Between 1991 and 2011, the ESR was 11.9 per 100,000 woman-years: 8.8 in 1991–1995, 9.5 in 1996–2000, 11.5 in 2001–2005, and 16.0 in 2006–2011. The median age at first lichen sclerosus diagnosis was 59.8 years (range 1.6–95.4 years). Another feature that may cause diagnostic confusion is pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia, a benign squamoproliferative condition that occurs within LP, LS, and nodular prurigo, and histopathologically resembles SCC.20 Mistaking pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia for SCC leads to unnecessary surgical intervention and attribution of the purported cancer to the adjacent dermatosis.21 Finally, cases of LS with edematous, fibrotic, or localized collagen change may be misinterpreted as LP or a nonspecific lichenoid reaction.7,22, Distinguishing between LP and LS also presents difficulties to clinicians. 2020 Jul 10;21(14):4880. doi: 10.3390/ijms21144880. The histological changes of lichen sclerosus (LS) are frequently found in association with vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) accounts for about 90% of all vulvar cancers (4). Comparing LS with and without associated SCCa found significant increases in age of patients (74 v 66 years; P = .001), and DNA aneuploidy (52% v 11%; P = .0001) and no differences in epidermal thickness, sclerotic thickness, proliferative index, or p53 expression. Nonneoplastic epithelial lesions were delineated as follows: (a) lichen sclerosus and atrophicus, (b) squamous cell hyperplasia (former hyperplastic dystrophy without atypia), and (c) other diseases of vulva, a category in which various injuries occur, such as psoriasis, lichen planus, fungal infections, and condyloma acuminata. Verrucous carcinoma and hypertrophic dVIN appeared as a spectrum of disease, rather than 2 distinct entities. Found inside – Page 819Some women with vulvar lichen sclerosus develop vulvar squamous cell carcinoma; ... It is essential that squamous cell hyperplasia be distinguished from ... Superficial terminal differentiation (cornification) with hyperkeratosis and dyskeratosis IHC: p16 negative (non-block positive), p53 mutant with strong staining of all basal cells (see The incidence rate of vulvar cancer is about 2.4 to 3.4 per 100,000 woman-years and has been rising by 20% to 55% during the past decades (1–6). 2. Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention Lichen sclerosus is usually treated with a corticosteroid cream. To assess the incidence rate of VSCC in women with lichen sclerosus, 163 women with lichen sclerosus were excluded because of prevalent VSCC (i.e., the interval to VSCC was less than 3 months), leaving 2,875 women and a total of 22,088.9 woman-years available for analyses. Carlson and colleagues. Tumor locations included labia minora, labia majora, and periclitoral; cancers did not originate at the vestibule or perianus. These results suggest that vulvar SCC associated with LP is rare. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective analysis of 137 patients with biopsy-proven lichen sclerosus (84), squamous cell hyperplasia (42) or mixed disease (11) treated between 1990 and 1997 with a standard, three-month regimen of graduated topical steroids was carried out.

Invasive squamous cell carcinoma arising from verrucous carcinoma: recognition of verrucous carcinoma of skin as an in-situ carcinoma. The begin date was defined as the date of the first histologic diagnosis of lichen sclerosus and the end date was defined as the date of VSCC diagnosis. HPV-negative vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) with basaloid histologic pattern: an unrecognized variant of simplex (differentiated) VIN. Review of published cases supports an association between LS and vulvar SCC. As long as clinicopathologic characteristics are not able to stratify lichen sclerosus women at high or low risk for VSCC, it seems useful to control women with lichen sclerosus and monitor for alterations within areas affected by lichen sclerosus. The aims of this study are to assess consecutive excisions of primary HPV-independent vulvar and vaginal cancers for peritumoral LP, LS, and precursor lesions and to place these findings in the context of clinical diagnosis and management of SCC-associated vulvar dermatoses. 23. It has been estimated that at least 25% of VSCC can be attributed to infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) while other important risk factors include vulvar inflammatory conditions like lichen sclerosus (7, 8). All published cases to date of vulvar LS associated with SCC were reviewed. J Urol.

Paraffin sections of vulvar LS, and three controls groups (acute scars, normal vulva, and vulvar lichen simplex chronicus [LSC]) were investigated with a panel of seven tissue markers and for DNA content in areas without vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN). Considering only lichen sclerosus women with VSCC, the age at first lichen sclerosus diagnosis was higher among women with prevalent VSCC (median 75.0 years, range 34.1–92.3) compared with women with incident VSCC (median 64.4 years, range 30.0–88.7 years; P = 0.001). Keratoacanthoma 4. The 10-year cumulative incidence of VSCC in lichen sclerosus women increased with age and was 5.9% (95% CI, 3.5%–8.3%) among women aged 70 and beyond, 3% (95% CI, 1.8%–3.0%) among women between 50 and 70 years, and 1.8% (95% CI, 0.6%–3.0%) among women below the age of 50 (Fig. Prevalence. Skin has several layers. Keratinizing; squamous cell carcinoma, well differentiated. 5 Clarke J, Etherington IJ, Luesley D. Response of vulvar lichen sclerosus and squamous cell hyperplasia to graduated topical steroids. Differentiated VIN (dVIN), the type of VIN expected to be associated with lichen sclerosus, was uncommonly diagnosed in our database (less than 3% of the high-grade VIN diagnoses were diagnosed as dVIN, results not shown) which is in agreement with the literature (23). Global Healthcare . Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic, inflammatory, mucocutaneous disorder of genital and extragenital skin.

In conclusion, this historic cohort study showed a doubling in lichen sclerosus incidence from 1991 to 2011. Although of somewhat uncertain aetiology, autoimmune or hormonal mechanisms are suggested. Accessibility Prominent nucleoli. Data is temporarily unavailable. Squamous cell hyperplasia. A supportive observation is that both dVIN and lichen sclerosus are observed adjacent to VSCC in 25% to 65% of the cancer cases (12–15). Cox regression analysis adjusted for presence of VIN at baseline, age at lichen sclerosus diagnosis and period at lichen sclerosus diagnosis (1991–1995, 1996–2000, 2001–2005, and 2006–2011) showed that both the presence of VIN at baseline and an age of 70 years were independent risk factors for VSCC risk (Table 2).

Bookshelf The 20 years VSCC risk in women with lichen sclerosus is 6.7% and special attention is needed in lichen sclerosus women with VIN as well as in women above the age of 70 years as these women have an increased risk for VSCC. Features of dVIN included a thickened hyperkeratotic or parakeratotic stratum corneum, acanthosis with elongated and branching rete ridges, premature maturation, enlarged squamous cells with large vesicular nuclei above the basal layer, and basal layer atypia characterized by the following 4 findings: increased mitoses, nuclear enlargement, pleomorphism, and hyperchromasia.13 We also looked for the basaloid variant of dVIN in which the epidermis is replaced by a homogenous population of abnormal keratinocytes.8,14 Basaloid dVIN was distinguished from regenerative erosive LP by the presence of marked nuclear pleomorphism, supported by an aberrant positive or negative p53; high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion was excluded by a negative p16.8 Vulvar acanthosis with altered differentiation (VAAD) is a descriptive term for an unusual epithelial appearance with marked verruciform hyperplasia, plaque-like parakeratosis, hypogranulosis, a layer of pale-staining squamous cells, premature maturation, and absence of basal atypia.9 Vulvar acanthosis with altered differentiation was first described as a possible precursor lesion for verrucous SCC; alternatively, it may be associated with keratinizing SCC or may be a reactive phenomenon that resolves with treatment of the underlying dermatologic condition. Treating Geographic Tongue. The diagnosis of comorbid LP and LS requires a high index of suspicion and is confirmed with 2 well-placed biopsies; thus, this phenomena is likely underreported.7 However, this study suggests that LS may be overlooked even when the clinical appearance is typical and peritumoral LS is noted on the pathology report.

This is especially problematic because adjacent LS is associated with a three-fold risk of local recurrence of vulvar SCC and a five-fold risk of second field tumors. is supported by the Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship. PMC 1. This study adds to the literature on the relationship between keratinizing SCC, verrucous SCC, and VAAD. Non-neoplastic Conditions Condyloma lata. T.D. 15. Vulvar pathology data were retrieved from the Dutch Pathology Registry to identify an historical cohort of women including 3,038 women diagnosed with lichen sclerosus between 1991 and 2011 in the Netherlands. Lichen sclerosus in 68 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis: frequent atypias and correlation with special carcinoma variants suggests a precancerous role. The effects of presence of VIN and age remained significant in adjusted Cox regression analysis. Ulcerative or vegetative genital lesions may need to undergo biopsy more than once to screen for squamous cell carcinoma. Lichen sclerosus may occur in men, women, and children at any age.

Cumulative incidence of vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) in women with lichen sclerosus (LS), stratified for the presence of vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) at baseline (A) and stratified for age group at time of LS diagnosis (age in years; B). Of the cohort of symptomatic vulvar LS patients (mean/median age, 60 years), 9% developed VIN lesions and 21% invasive SCC; symptomatic LS preceded the carcinoma by a mean of 4 years (range, 1 to 23 years). Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a benign, chronic, progressive dermatologic condition characterized by marked inflammation, epithelial thinning, and distinctive dermal changes accompanied by symptoms of pruritus and pain (picture 1A-C) [].The previous designation was lichen sclerosus et atrophicus; the "et atrophicus" was dropped because areas of thickening and hyperplasia often occur. 4. The levels of statistical significance were set at 0.05. Visser, L.I.H. Another explanation for possible underestimation of the lichen sclerosus incidence could lie in the possibility that a histology-proven lichen sclerosus might not have been coded as such by pathologists.

Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia of the simplex (differentiated) type: a clinicopathologic study including analysis of HPV and p53 expression. A total of 16,237 pathology reports of 5,697 women were reviewed to categorize women with lichen sclerosus, VIN, and VSCC. Adenocarcinoma is a type of cancer that starts in mucus-producing glandular cells of your body Melanoma is a type of skin cancer. Buchholz A, Vattai A, Fürst S, Vilsmaier T, Kuhn C, Schmoeckel E, Mayr D, Dannecker C, Mahner S, Jeschke U, Heidegger HH. Alopecia areata We found a comparable incidence rate of lichen sclerosus, ranging from 11.7 to 24.4 lichen sclerosus cases per 100,000 woman-years between 50 and 59 years of age in the calendar period up to the year 2000 (thereby excluding our data in the calendar periods after the publication date of this review). Found inside – Page 112also mixed epithelial alterations (such as Lichen Sclerosus + squamous cell Hyperplasia. In these cases, it is necessary to report both diagnoses. Erosive LP is usually seen on nonkeratinized epithelium of vestibule and vagina, but primary HPV-independent vaginal cancer has not been reported and vestibular tumors are uncommon, although establishing an origin site medial to the mucocutaneous junction is difficult if there is dermatosis-associated architectural change or the cancer is locally advanced.5 The proposed mechanism for LS-associated neoplasia is the scar-cancer hypothesis, in which the combination of altered epithelial-stromal interface and chronic epithelial damage and repair leads to accumulation of carcinogenic mutations.15,16 Classically, scar cancers arise from burns and chronic ulcers; in the case of LS, the scar is the band of abnormal stromal collagen and the damaged epithelium results from T-cell–mediated attack on basilar keratinocytes.15 Lichen planus lacks significant scarring, and chronic inflammation alone is a weak potential driver for carcinogenesis.

Schwannoma 7. The Dutch Pathology Registry has nationwide coverage, meaning that all pathology reports are included in this database. Between 1991 and 2011, the incidence rate of lichen sclerosus was 10.4 per 100,000 woman-years with the highest incidence rate of 28.6 per 100,000 woman-years achieved between 65–69 years of age. Vulvar lichen sclerosus coexists with carcinoma in approximately 15–40% of cases.

In contrast, margin status is not related to HPV-independent SCC recurrence risk.23, Despite recent evidence to suggest that a tailored long-term regimen of topical corticosteroids reduces the risk of primary vulvar cancer, only 4 women in this high-risk group were ever prescribed maintenance therapy.2 Heterogeneity in international clinical guidelines likely contributes to a laissez-faire approach to long-term surveillance and treatment of LS. LS is a debilitating disease, causing itch, pain, dysuria and restriction of micturition, dyspareunia, and significant sexual dysfunction in women and men.

Over time, the median age of lichen sclerosus diagnosis remained stable, respectively 60.9, 59.3, 59.3, and 59.9 years in the calendar periods 1991–1995, 1996–2001, 2001–2005, and 2006–2011. Of note, patients with clinically diagnosed lichen sclerosus that were not biopsied were not included in our study. Impact: The incidence of lichen sclerosus is rising and special attention is needed in particular in women with concurrent VIN because of their high risk of cancer. Overbeek, M. van Beurden, J. Berkhof, Writing, review, and/or revision of the manuscript: M.C. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective, case-control study compared 46 women presenting between 1992 and 2000 with clinical and histologic evidence of squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva arising in a background of lichen sclerosus and 213 new referrals with vulvar lichen sclerosus during the … ICD-10-CM N90.4 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 742 Uterine and adnexa procedures for non-malignancy with cc/mcc. Vulvar lichen sclerosus and squamous cell carcinoma: a cohort, case control, and investigational study with historical perspective; implications for chronic inflammation and sclerosis in the development of neoplasia. In summary, LP was not encountered in excision specimens for vulvar SCC occurring for more than a decade. In addition to VAAD as described by Nascimento et al.,9 2 cases demonstrated other morphologies of “acanthosis with altered differentiation” seen as marked hyperkeratosis and hypergranulosis disproportionate to the acanthosis or as parakeratosis without the underlying pale band of squamous cells (see Figure 5).
