Résumé
Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the anogenital skin that can cause significant urinary and sexual dysfunction in men, particularly by means of destructive urethral disease. LS is traditionally thought to progress from the meatus with migration along the urethra proximally, however we present a case describing an isolated bulbar urethral stricture secondary to LS. To our knowledge, this has only been reported in the literature in one previous study. Clinician recognition of LS as a potential cause of isolated bulbar urethral stricture disease is important as this has ramifications on follow up and successful management.
