Basavaraj Kf, A U Madihalli

Abstract :

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic autoimmune, mucocutaneous disease that affects the oral mucosa as well as the skin, genital mucosa, scalp, and nails. It is one of the most common dermatological diseases presenting in the oral cavity. An immune–mediated pathogenesis is recognized in lichen planus, although the exact etiology is unknown. A case of lichen planus is presented with special emphasis on its clinical and microscopic characteristics. The differential diagnosis and the controversy associated with the malignant potential of oral lichen planus is also discussed.
