Abstract: A BSTRACT Genital ulcers may be located on the genital region and may be due to infectious or noninfectious etiology. Although sexually transmitted infections are a common cause of genital lesions, it is essential to consider nonvenereal disorders in the differential diagnosis. Squamous cell carcinoma appearing in lesions of chronic vulval lichen sclerosus et atrophicus is a rare occurrence of clinical significance. We present a case report of a 62-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with a long-standing history of vulval pruritus, and mild pain.
