A Generalized Lichen Planus Following COVID-19 Vaccination: A Case Report
Ann Dermatol. 2023 Nov;35(Suppl 2):S260-S264. doi: 10.5021/ad.22.026.ABSTRACTAs part of the efforts to overcome the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, mass vaccination programs against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been initiated. Since then, an increasing number of cutaneous adverse events associated with the COVID-19 vaccines have been reported. Lichen planus (LP) is a rare inflammatory mucocutaneous disease with various clinical presentations, although uncommon, occurring following vaccination. There have been several cases of LP reported following COVID-19 vacc...

A Case of Linear Hypertrophic Lichen Planus in a Pediatric Patient
Ann Dermatol. 2023 Nov;35(Suppl 2):S256-S259. doi: 10.5021/ad.21.300.ABSTRACTLichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin and mucosa. Of the various types, the hypertrophic type is characterized by thickened, purplish hyperkeratotic plaques and nodules. The course of hypertrophic LP tends to be more chronic than those of other types. A 12-year-old girl presented with a 2-year history of warty papules and plaques in a zosteriform configuration along one flank. Histopathology revealed hyperkeratosis and papillomatosis with wedge-shaped hypergranulosis. A lichenoid lymphocytic infiltrate with vacuolar chan...

Photodynamic therapy for refractory erosive oral lichen planus: a case series study
Oral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs on the oral mucosa and is an oral potentially malignant disease. Treatment of oral lichen planus aims to promote healing of the erosion, relieve pain, reduce recurrence of the erosion and prevent canceration. Corticosteroids are the first line of treatment for oral lichen planus. Refractory oral lichen planus is a clinical classification of oral lichen planus that has not responded to corticosteroid treatment for more than two months.
