  • Title: Vulvo-vaginal lichen planus: A focussed review for the clinician.
    Author: Dubey R, Fischer G.
    Journal: Australas J Dermatol; 2019 Feb; 60(1):7-11. PubMed ID: 29961956.
    Abstract:
    Vulvo-vaginal lichen planus is a condition which imposes a significant burden of symptoms and sequale. There is a paucity of knowledge and evidenced-based management with significant diagnostic delay prior to appropriate treatment being common. There remains great variability in clinician practice in the context of limited knowledge. This clinical review presents current evidence on the clinicopathological features, practical assessment and management options. Learning points include characterization of this chronic, burdensome clinical entity that has no standardized diagnostic or management protocols. We provide practical clinical conclusions based on current knowledge and identify areas for future research to improve patient outcomes.
