Abstract

Lichen planus is a multisystem disease. Often genital involvement is missed or misdiagnosed. It can be rapidly progressive with high patient morbidity. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and the effectiveness of combined surgical and medical treatment with close patient follow-up and support.
