“…OLP manifests variability in clinical presentation, ranging from a classic lace-like network of slightly raised white lines with multifocal symmetrical distribution to erythematous and painful erosive lesions. Many studies have suggested that oral lesions of pediatric patients have the classic clinical presentation of OLP [4,10,11]. Similar to adults, asymptomatic reticulation is the dominant form of pediatric OLP [4].…”

Background Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic mucocutaneous disease characterized by adult predominance and a prolonged course. However, it is rare in the pediatric population with familial aggregation. Case presentation A 3-year-old boy presented with pain and irritation on the oral mucosa while contacting spicy food for 2 months. Oral examination showed widespread whitish reticular and papular lesions on the lips, the dorsum of the tongue, and bilateral buccal mucosa, with diffuse erosions covered with pseudomembrane on the buccal mucosa. The boy’s parents were examined to exhibit white reticular and plaque-like lesions on their oral mucosa. The three patients were clinically diagnosed as affected by OLP and histopathologically confirmed. The boy underwent topical treatment with recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (rb-bFGF) gel, and oral lesions gradually resolved and healed. Neither of his parents received treatment. During the subsequent follow-ups, none of three patients underwent any medical treatment. Fortunately, their lesions had almost faded over 8 years. Conclusions Our case emphasizes that pediatric OLP should be recorded with family history. Besides, long-term periodic follow-up is recommended in pediatric patients with OLP for monitoring any changes in lesions.

“…1 Although rare, oral LP (OLP) can occur in children, and in these cases, it usually has a family history. 2,3 Clinically, patients with OLP typically present symmetrical and multifocal lesions with one or more of the following patterns: reticular, atrophic, erosive, papular, plaque, and bullous. 4 The most common oral locations are the buccal mucosa, gingiva, and tongue.…”

Lichen planus (LP) is a mucocutaneous immunemediated disease of unknown etiology. It is more prevalent in women and usually occurs between the third and sixth decades of life. Oral lesions may or may not be associated with skin and genital lesions. Although the role of genetic factors is still undetermined, reports of LP in more than one family member are not uncommon. However, the occurrence of LP in monozygotic twins is rare. We report a rare case of 42-year-old female monozygotic twins presenting oral LP. This report is even rarer because one of the patients had cutaneous lesions of an unusual variant of LP (LP pigmentosus) and the other had an uncommon association with lichen sclerosus. The etiology and pathogenesis of LP are still uncertain. However, despite being rare, its occurrence in family members and monozygotic twins suggests that genetic factors are involved in its development.
