Abstract:
Oral lichenoid reactions (OLRs) comprise a group of conditions with a common clinical appearance and histopathologic pattern that may be induced by several conditions or medications. This report describes an OLR possibly induced by a biologic agent. A 69-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis presented with a chief complaint of oral pain. The patient retroactively reported of skin lesions as well. Clinically, she had mixed red-white mucosal lesions and ulcers suggestive of an OLR. This diagnosis was supported by histopathologic findings. Withholding the putative etiologic agent, abatacept, resulted in immediate alleviation of both oral and skin lesions. Abatacept and other biologics are thought to help treat inflammation and are becoming more commonly prescribed to treat rheumatoid arthritis. However, the clinicians should explore these medications as a causative factor for OLR.
