The first reference which comes into my hand is: Lever WF, Schaumburg-Lever G. Histopathology of the skin, JB Lipincott Company, 7th edition 1990, pg 310. "Lichen sclerosus et atrophicus of the vulva, also referred to as kraurosis vulvae...." (pg 310). but I think I saw the same definition in well-known textbooks of dermatology as Fitzpatrick's or Rook's ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Catalin M.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
