Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Oral lichen planus mostly affects middle-aged females. It is a chronic muco-cutaneous autoimmune disease and factors like psychological stress, systemic conditions or drugs are the possible etiological conditions. Variants of lichen planus are reticular, atrophic, erosive and ulcerative. Atrophic and erosive lichen planus are most commonly associated with increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma development. Therefore these types require prompt diagnosis and treatment. The present article shows a case report of erosive lichen planus in a 44 year old male patient having considerable stress and depression at the time of presentation. Keywords: Erosive lichen planus, Oral lichen planus, Lichen planus.
