“…The vesicles of BLP are usually larger, more fragile, and opaque, in comparison to superficial mucoceles [2]. Another remark is that oral BLP is often superimposed with or adjacent to the white striation [8]. In contrast, superficial mucoceles typically develop at the areas of minor salivary glands and can be either within or distant from the OLP lesion [1].…”

Superficial mucoceles, a rare variant of the mucocele occurring simultaneously with oral lichen planus, are uncommon. This report introduces a case of multiple superficial mucoceles developing with oral lichen planus in a 76-year-old Thai female and provides information to avoid misdiagnosis and over-management of this lesion. Pathogenesis and clinicopathological characteristics of this phenomenon are also discussed.

Challenges and pitfalls between lichen planus pemphigoides and bullous lichen planus

et al. 2022

Lichen planus pemphigoides (LPP) and bullous lichen planus (BLP) are rare dermatoses, which are characterised by blisters and lichenoid lesions. Their clinical presentation is heterogenous, displaying overlapping features or mimicking other dermatological diseases. Therefore, diagnosis can often be challenging, requiring a thorough dermatological examination along with distinctive histological and immunopathological characteristics. Lichenoid degeneration of the basal epidermis exposes various antigens of the dermal-epidermal junction in LPP, resulting in the breakdown of immune tolerance, hence, the production of autoantibodies against type XVII collagen. Conversely, no pathogenic autoantibodies are detected in BLP. However, some cases of mucosal lichen planus might display immunopathological features suggestive of autoimmune blistering diseases. Therefore, a better understanding of the pathophysiology of these two distinct dermatoses is imperative. The aim of this review was to provide a summary of the current knowledge on the clinical hallmarks, diagnosis and available therapeutic options in LPP and BLP.

“…Endogenous factors include genetic factors and autoimmunity. 14 The disease affects 0.5%-2% of the general population, with a female predilection between 30-70 years of age. 14 However, published literature has reported the infrequent occurrence of OLP in the pediatric population.…”

The Mouth is the mirror of the human body that reflects systemic disorders, and various systemic pathologies find expression in the oral region. Oral manifestations may be the initial feature or the only presenting sign in mucocutaneous diseases. Mucocutaneous disorders share two features in common: An immune-mediated pathogenesis and possibly common clinical appearance termed as 'Desquamative gingivitis'. Desquamative gingivitis is mostly a manifestation of a wide array of vesiculobullous disorders; however, it may also result due to endocrine disturbances, chronic infections, and allergic/chemical reactions. Hereby, presenting a case of oral lichen planus with Desquamative gingivitis as the sole manifestation in a 35-year-old female patient.
