ABSTRACT
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a more common autoimmune inflammatory disease than other derma- toses. It causes symptoms such as painful ulcers and a burning sensation, prompting the patient to seek help from a health-care provider. While it occurs clinically in various forms, the reticular form is the most common. Oral lichen planus is considered by many researchers to be a premalig- nant condition. The purpose of this case report is to discuss the clinical features of OLP.
Keywords: Malignant transformation, oral lichen planus, OLP etiology
