RESUMEN

El liquen escleroso es una dermatosis inflamatoria poco frecuente, con especial predilección por las áreas genitales femeninas. De etiopatogenia desconocida, vinculada a mecanismos inmunológicos y con frecuencia a un aumento en la expresión de determinados antígenos HLA. La asociación a trastornos autoinmunes, sin embargo, es menos frecuente en hombres.
Presentamos el caso de un varón, portador de esta patología a nivel genital, de larga evolución, que desarrolla un liquen escleroso coincidiendo en la topografía de quemadura solar previa. Se trata de un fenómeno de Koebner verdadero.
