Abstract
Women are primarily affected by lichen planus, a chronic autoimmune skin and mucosal disorder in their 40s to 60s. Medication, systemic disorders, and mental stress are some of the factors that can cause it, though the precise cause is still unknown. Middle-aged females are the main victims of the disease; children are rarely affected. Oral lichen planus (OLP) is less common in atrophic and erosive forms. There is disagreement over whether OLP causes cancer; therefore physicians need to keep a close watch for any intraoral lichenoid lesions, and patients with OLP are advised to follow up regularly. This case report details a 52-year-old woman's right buccal mucosa and tongue affected by reticular lichen planus.
