J Am Acad Dermatol. 2000 Nov;43(5 Pt 2):903-4. doi: 10.1067/mjd.2000.101876.

Abstract

Extragenital lichen sclerosus is most common on the neck, shoulders, and upper portion of the trunk. A 20-year-old Korean man had asymptomatic, well-demarcated, linear violaceous plaques on the left lateral chest, in a pattern corresponding to the lines of Blaschko. We describe a case with a pattern of extragenital lichen sclerosus following Blaschko's lines.
