Vulvar lichen planus–induced vulvovaginal stenosis: A case report and review of the literature
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The authors report a case of vulvar lichen planus-induced vulvovaginal stenosis along with a review of the current literature. The authors outline a case of a patient with biopsy-proven vulvar lichen planus who subsequently developed a vulvovaginal stenosis. Treatment was initiated with clobetasol ointment, oral prednisone, later transitioned to oral methotrexate and clobetasol, and then switched to acitretin. Collaboration with the patient's family physician and the hypertension clinic has been sought to remove medications associated with lichenoid reactions from the patient's regimen. Review of literature was conducted through Ovid MEDLINE. Only six cases of vulvar lichen planus-induced vulvovaginal stenosis had been found, suggesting the relative rarity of this severe disease presentation. The patient has achieved control with her current regimen, as well as some clinical improvement of the resulting vaginal stenosis. Vulvovaginal stenosis can be induced by vulvar lichen planus, and its management requires a multimodal and multidisciplinary approach.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
