“…The hormonal changes caused by the climacteric do not appear to influence its onset, nor the clinical type ( 15 ). The typical age range for the manifestation of this disease is between 30 and 70, but cases have been reported in children ( 16 , 17 ).…”

Background Oral lichen planus (OLP) is one of the most common dermatological diseases which are present in the oral cavity. It is a chronic autoimmune, mucocutaneous disease that affects the oral mucosa as well as the skin, genital mucosa and other sites.ObjectiveReview the relevant information to OLP and its relationship with systemic diseases.Material and MethodsSearches were carried out in the Medline/PubMed, Lilacs, Bireme, BVS, and SciELO databases by using key-words. After an initial search that provided us with 243 papers, this number was reduced to 78 from the last seven years. One of the first criteria adopted was a selective reading of the abstracts of articles for the elimination of publications that presented less information regarding the subject proposed for this work. All the selected articles were read in their entirety by all of the authors, who came to a consensus about their level of evidence. The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) criteria were used as the criteria of methodological validation.ResultsOnly 9 articles showed an evidence level of 1+, 2+, 3 or 4, as well as a recommendation level of A, B, C or D. Three of them were non-systematic reviews, one was a cohort study and only one was a controlled clinical trial. Three of the studies were case series, with respective sample sizes of 45, 171 and 633 patients.ConclusionsSeveral factors have been associated with OLP. Patients with OLP are carriers of a disease with systemic implications and may need the care of a multidisciplinary team. The correct diagnosis of any pathology is critical to making effective treatment and minimizes iatrogenic harm. For OLP is no different, taking into account its association with numerous systemic diseases that require special attention from health professionals. Periodic follow-up of all patients with OLP is recommended. Key words:Oral lichen planus, etiopathogenesis, systemic diseases.

“…Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic mucocutaneous inflammatory disorder with an obscure etiopathogenesis,[1] although immune-mediated and multifactorial basis have been proposed. [2] LP primarily involves the skin and oral mucosa. However, other mucous membranes (genitalia, esophagus, and conjunctiva) and skin appendage areas (scalp and nails) may also be affected.…”

Lichen planus (LP) is a potentially malignant disorder with an immune-mediated etiopathogenesis. The condition frequently affects the skin, oral mucosa, skin appendages, and other mucous membranes. Oral lesions usually precede the onset of skin lesions and in majority of cases may only be presenting symptom. Isolated LP of the lip is rarely encountered in the clinical practice and is usually seen along with skin/other mucous membrane involvement. The clinical appearance poses diagnostic dilemmas and is often misinterpreted. This case report aims to highlight an interesting case of LP of the lower lip in a 50-year-old male patient. The patient presented with a diffuse erosive lesion on the lower lip bordered by white radiating striae on its inner aspect. Histopathological and immunofluorescent studies confirmed LP of the lip. Topical corticosteroids and Vaseline lip therapy were prescribed to the patient. There was considerable healing in the lip lesion during the follow-up period. However, recurrence was noted in the left buccal mucosa.

“…Laboratory tests produced normal results, and there was no relevant personal or family history. We administered systematic viaminate and immunomodulator treatment, as well as topical ointment, which were previously reported to be effective treatments for AALP (Moger, Thippanna, Kenchappa, & Puttalingaiah, 2013;Ujiie, Shibaki, Akiyama, & Shimizu, 2010). Unfortunately, the above symptoms occurred repeatedly over the next year without any obvious inducement.…”
