Lichen planus (LP) is a common oral disorder which may represent the manifestation of a mucosal reaction to a variety of aetiological factors. Of the many immunological changes described in LP several may he epiphenomena although a cell‐mediated immune response to unidentified antigens or antigenic changes clearly is involved. Associations with drugs or systemic disorders are well‐defined in some, patients but may, in others, be aleatoric, Finally, the prognosis of oral LP not only differs from that of cutaneous LP but there is little doubt that in a few instances LP is a premalignant condition.

“…El LP es una enfermedad mucocutánea y como tal se puede manifestar en piel, cuero cabelludo, uñas y mucosas. Puede darse cualquier combinación de éstas e incluso se ha descrito a nivel de un quiste epidermoide (29). Las manifestaciones orales son las más frecuentes, ya sea de forma única o acompañando a otras localizaciones.…”

El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar los aspectos clínicos y patológicos necesarios para conocer mejor el liquen plano oral y poder diagnosticarlo correctamente. El diagnóstico se obtiene en primer lugar por el aspecto clínico de las lesiones. Se debe realizar siempre biopsia y estudio anatomopatológico para confirmar la sospecha clínica y realizar diagnóstico diferencial con otras entidades de apariencia clínica similar. Los pasos que debemos seguir para realizar un diagnóstico de certeza son: estudio de la clínica (anamnesis y exploración clínica), biopsia para estudio histopatológico y analítica sanguínea y determinación de la tensión arterial, buscando una posible relación con determinados procesos sistémicos. Se hará una inmunofluorescencia directa cuando haya que diferenciarlo de dermatopatías similares (lupus, penfigoide o pénfigo). En ocasiones podremos realizar un análisis estructural y otras pruebas diagnósticas. Palabras clave: Mucosa oral, diagnóstico oral, liquen plano oral.

“…As with lichen planus (11,12) and mycosis fungoides (13,14) Darier's disease in an epidermoid cyst exemplifies participation of a cyst's epithelium in a generalized skin disease.…”

“…Micromorphological changes in the wall of keratinous cysts are rare; most of these changes are neopiastic proliferations (i-iO). There are few reports stressing the histological similarity of reaction in a cyst's epithelial wall and non-tumorous (11,12), or generalized (13,14) skin diseases. To my knowledge, the following findings have not previously been reported in an epidermoid cyst of a patient with Darier's disease.…”
