چکیده

Oral lichen Planus(OLP) is a chronic mucocutaneous autoimmune disease that mostly affects middle-aged females. Various factors including psychological stress , drugs and various systemic conditions has been linked to the etiopathogenesis of OLP. It has got several variants including reticular, erosive, atrophic and ulcerative-types. Erosive and atrophic variants have been most often linked to increased risk of developing into squamous cell carcinoma, hence such variants requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. This article reports a case of erosive OLP that had affected a 50-year old female who was under considerable stress and depression at the time of presentation. She is now being treated with topical corticosteroid therapy and started to respond favourably. We have attempted a brief review on various treatment modalities for OLP.
