Abstract

Because of heightened awareness about sexual abuse, it is important for physicians to differentiate between genital lesions associated with abuse and those associated with "natural" disease processes. Lichen sclerosus is a disease of the skin most often found in the vulvar and perianal areas of postmenopausal women. It is less commonly seen in prepubertal female children and premenopausal adult women. Cases of lichen sclerosus have also been reported on the male genitalia, and it is an uncommon cause of phimosis in boys. One of the clinical manifestations of lichen sclerosus is cutaneous bleeding causing lesions resembling "blood blisters" or bruises.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
