Clinical and pathological characterization of oral mucosal & #39;lichen planus-like lesions & #39; in patients with pemphigus vulgaris: An observational study

Conclusion: Lichen planus-like lesions in pemphigus should not be labeled as inactive disease or postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. Apoptosis followed by pigment incontinence seems to explain such lesions with 'lichen planus-like appearance' in oral pemphigus vulgaris. Active pemphigus smoulders in a majority of these lesions.
