Malignant transformation in oral lichen planus.

P O Lind, H Strømme Koppang, E Aas

    International Journal of Oral Surgery
    |December 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Oral lichen planus, a chronic condition, may transform into buccal mucosa carcinoma. This case highlights the risk in patients with systemic diseases on medication.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral pathology
    • Oncology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the oral mucosa.
    • Malignant transformation of OLP is a recognized but rare complication.

    Observation:

    • A 71-year-old woman with multiple systemic diseases and on extensive medication developed buccal mucosa carcinoma.
    • The patient had a history of oral lichen planus for over 9 years.

    Findings:

    • The study discusses the potential for oral lichen planus to undergo malignant transformation into squamous cell carcinoma.
    • This case underscores the importance of monitoring chronic oral lesions.

    Implications:

    • Early detection and management of oral lichen planus are crucial to prevent malignant transformation.
    • Further research is needed to identify risk factors and improve diagnostic strategies for OLP-associated cancer.
