Abstract
Introduction:
Several drugs can induce lichenoid lesions.
Case Report:
We observed two cases of lichenoid lesions of the buccal mucosa due to lithium carbonate. Drug withdrawal caused clearing.
Discussion:
These cases emphasize the rare nature of this complication. To date only one lichenoid stomatitis has been reported in the literature.
