摘　　要：Morphea and extragenital lichen sclerosus(ELS)are chronic inflammatory dermatoses that can be clinically similar.Morphea is typically characterized by successive development of erythematous patches,central hypopigmented sclerosis,and atrophic plaques.ELS manifests as blue-whitish papules,coalescing or enlarging into shiny,sclerotic,scar-like plaques.The differentiation between morphea and ELS can be difficult,especially in an early stage or in atypical cases.Moreover,coexistence of these two conditions can be observed,and biopsy is often necessary to distinguish them.Dermoscopy,as a non-invasive technology,is effective in assisting the diagnosis of cutaneous tumors and non-neoplastic dermatoses.Studies reporting the use of dermoscopy for the diagnosis of morphea and ELS in Caucasian patients have been published in succession.[1,2,3,4,5]We designed this prospective study to analyze and compare the dermoscopic features of morphea and ELS in Chinese patients.
