We present a challenging case of chronic, erosive, scarring dermatosis of the vulva with clinical features of long standing lichen sclerosus (LS), namely pallor and loss of vulval architecture, but with histopathology consistently showing features of an acantholytic process. The history and clinical features of this case do not resemble other acantholytic conditions such as pemphigus vulgaris, Hailey-Hailey disease, Darier disease, or the entities described as acantholytic dermatoses affecting the vulva. As far as we are aware, the combination of the clinical features and histopathologic findings in our case do not fit with any previously described condition and we propose that this is a rare entity of a collision of LS and an erosive acantholytic process occurring together.
