چکیده

Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic autoimmune mucocutaneous disease that predominantly affects adults and occurs less frequently in the pediatric patients. Oral LP in childhood is a rare entity with very few cases cited in the literature.

Despite the fact of rare occurrence, early identification and diagnosis of this condition by dental specialists can have a huge impact on the oral health of affected pediatric patients.
