Lichen planus (LP), although a dermatosis, is more common in the oral mucous membrane thanin the skin. Lesions of oral LP are classically found on the buccal mucosa and gingiva. Among thevarious types, the reticularlesions are asymptomatic and require no treatment, but pain and severediscomfort accompany the erosive or ulcerative lesions. Malignant transformation to squamouscell carcinoma developing in areas of erosive oral LP (EOLP) being a possibility, it is important forclinicians to maintain a high index of suspicion for all intraoral lichenoid lesions. Therefore, periodicfollow-up of all patients with EOLP is recommended.In view ofthe above,this paper highlights themanagement of four cases of EOLP with topical corticosteroid and CO2laser surgery.Key words: carbon dioxide laser, corticosteroid, lichen planus

<p class="abstract">Lichen planus (LP) is a papulosquamous disorder with both cutaneous and mucosal manifestation. Linear lichen planus is rare variant of lichen planus which occurs in the extremities. Oral lichen planus is another variant of lichen planus. Coexistence of linear lichen planus with oral lichen planus is rare and only one case has been reported before this case. A 35 year old female presented with hyperpigmented linear lesion in the leg and whitish plaques in the oral cavity. Biopsy of the skin lesions showed features of lichen planus. The patient was started on topical steroids and oral hydroxychloroquine. Patient responded to treatment.</p>

<div><p><em>Lichen planus (LP) is an autoimmune chronic mucocutaneous dermatosis that commonly affects skin, mucous membrane, hair follicles &amp; nails. Skin lesions present as recurrent violaceous, keratotic pruritic patches whereas oral lichen planus presents with various pattern. Oral lesions of LP is approximately of 1- 2% of general population while 10-20% of patients demonstrate oral as well as cutaneous lesions. Females are most commonly affected with age group ranging from 40-70 years and showing prevalence rates varying from 0.5% to 2.6% of the world population. The malignant transformation potential of LP into oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is 0.3-3%. Epithelial dysplasia is considered to be a risk factor for malignant transformation into OSCC. The objective of this paper is to report a case of oral lichen planus showing features of dysplasia in a young male patient. <strong></strong></em></p></div>

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory and immune-mediated disease that presents as bilateral, symmetrical oral lesions with three main clinical presentations: reticular, atrophic, and erosive. It is clinically characterized by pain, burning sensation, and discomfort for sufferers. Currently OLP is classified as a potentially malignant oral disorder. It has been associated with numerous systemic connotations such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, thyroid diseases, psychosomatic ailments, chronic liver disease, and gastrointestinal diseases. Diagnosis is made by clinical and histological examinations. It is a non-curable disease, the treatments are applied seeking the reduction or disappearance of the associated pain, as well as improving the clinical appearance of erosive-ulcerative lesions. The objective of this work was to present through a clinical case the difficulties in the treatment of OLP in a systemically compromised patient, highlighting the comprehensive assessment of the same, failed pharmacological therapies, until the symptomatology diminished and the patient's quality of life improved.
