BACKGROUND Although oral lichen planus has been classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a potentially malignant disorder, such classification is still the target of much controversy. AIM To evaluate the cell proliferation rate in oral lichen planus, comparing it to the rate observed in epithelial dysplasia and oral squamous cell carcinoma, aiming at indications which might indica...

INTRODUCTION Up to 30% of squamous cell carcinomas of the penis arise from a lichen sclerosus, but very few reports in which lichen planus was the preexisting lesion have been published. We report a male with verrucous carcinoma of penis that developed in an area of lichen planus.

Lichen planus is a mucocutaneous disease of inflammatory nature and unknown etiology. It is characterized by a cell-mediated immunological response to induced antigenic change in skin and/or mucosa. The possible malignant transformation of lichen planus remains a subject of controversial discussions in the literature. hMSH2 is one of the human DNA mismatch repair (hMMR) genes and it plays an im...

BACKGROUND Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease.

On clinical examination, a 3-cm large verrucous clitoral cancer in an area of liche...

Lichen planus and vitiligo are common skin disorders. Colocalization which is rarely reported may consider the koebner phenomenon related to the photo damage causing initiation of lichen planus over vitiliginous skin. We report a 37-year-old mother and her 23-year-old daughter, both farmers and known cases of vitiligo with subsequent gradual onset of pruritic skin lesions of lichen planus start...
