Abstract 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.

We present a case of a 77-year-old female who suffered from oral lichen planus (OLP) involving her gingiva and bilateral buccal mucosa for over 6 months. We showed that oral hygiene measures and conventional periodontal treatment and strict maintenance were sufficient to control the gingival involvement of OLP. The mechanism of OLP is complex and not yet fully understood. The focus of discussion in our case was that knowledge and understanding of gingival pathology are fundamental for a determined management approach. Our case was managed according to the suggested protocols in previous case studies. A multidisciplinary approach allowed for accurate diagnosis and treatment tailored to the presented case.

OBJECTIVESThe objective of the study was to determine the clinical profile of oral lichen planus.METHODOLOGYThis retrospective cohort study was carried from January 2011 to December 2015 at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Sardar Begum Dental College, Peshawar.A total of 36 with 14 male and 22 female patients having oral lichen planus from were selected. On defined and population-based sample the age selected was ≥ 20 years and divided into four categories i.e..,20-29 years,30-39 years,40-49 years and 50-59 years. The diagnostic criteria proposed by van der Meij et al 23 in 2003 based on the WHO definition of oral lichen planus were used to identify the cases of oral lichen planus.That entire patient’s with incomplete records and aged > 60 years were excluded. The data was analyzed through SPSS 22 at the significance level of p < 0.05 and Chi-square statistics was applied for site and gender association.RESULTSThe mean age presentation was 39.2 (SD± 15.49) years. The female to male ratio was 1:57:1. The dominant aged group was 30-39 years with n=16 (44.44%).The buccal mucosa was the most common site involved n=28(77.8%).Reticular type of oral lichen planus was the most common form and was present in n=22(61.1%) patients however, bilaterally involved mucosa was commonly seen. Chi-square statistics showed a significant association between bilateral involvement of oral mucosa in oral lichen planus with both male and female (x2= 5.833, p= 0.016).CONCLUSIONThe most common site involved in oral lichen planus was buccal mucosa, most common form was atrophic with female predominance and bilaterally involved oral mucosa was significantly associated with gender.

Lichen planus is a chronic autoimmune disorder of mucosa and skin, mainly females in their forty to sixty years and rare in young age group. Etiology is still unknown; certain triggering factors include mental stress, medicines and systemic disorders. Oral Lichen planus is a painful disorder; mainly involve the buccal mucosa of the oral cavity. The reticular pattern is most common while atrophic and erosive type of oral lichen planus are less common. Here we present a rare case of a reticular lichen planus involving the right buccal mucosa and tongue of 18 years old female patient without any cutaneous lesions.
