Clinical and histological predictors of disease severity in boys with lichen sclerosus: A prospective multicentre observational study
Emergency presentation and involvement of the urethral meatus at circumcision associate with ongoing symptoms after circumcision. In this cohort, the appearance of disease at surgery and the severity of disease on histopathology did not correlate with outcome. However further studies are required to validate the value of histological staging.
