Abstract
Yetişkinlerde % 0.1-1.2 oranında görülen liken planus (LP), çocukluk çağında çok daha nadir gözlenmektedir. Pediyatrik yaş grubuna ait insidansı tam olarak bilinememekle birlikte tüm LP’lu olguların %1-4’ünün çocuklukta görüldüğü bildirilmiştir. LP’un çocuklarda nadir görülme nedeninin; hastalığın başlamasında rol oynayan faktörler olan ilaçlar, dental onarım materyalleri, enfektif ajanlar ve stres gibi çevresel tetikleyicilere maruziyetin göreceli olarak daha nadir olması düşünülmektedir. LP’lu çocuk hastalarda yapılan çalışmalar sınırlı sayıda olgu sunumları ve küçük serilerden ibarettir. Bu çalışmada kliniğimize başvuran, klinik ve histopatolojik olarak LP tanısı almış, yaşları 6-14 arasında değişen, bir tanesine oral LP tanısı konulan üç olgu sunularak çocukluk çağında LP hakkında mevcut veriler gözden geçirilecektir.

Abstract
Lichen Planus (LP) has an incidence of 0.1-1.2 % in adults, and is much less common in childhood. The exact incidence of LP in pediatric patients has not been determined yet, but about 1-4% of all LP cases are seen in children. The reason for the low childhood incidence may be the relative rarity of factors that play a role in the initiation of LP, such as exposure to drugs, dental-restoration material, infective agents and environmental triggers including stress. Studies on LP in children are limited in number and composed of isolated case reports or small series. Here we report 3 LP cases with an age range of 6 to 14 years who were diagnosed clinically and histopathologically, with one case of oral LP. We review the relevant data while presenting these cases
