Oral drug-induced lichenoid reaction in pediatric age group

Abstract

Mucocutaneous diseases in the pediatric population are extremely rare and, hence, can have both psychological and behavioral bearing. Mucosal conditions in children include herpetic stomatitis, vesiculobullous lesions, aphthous and traumatic ulcerations, candidiasis, lichen planus, and drug-related mucosal lesions. This case report deals with a rare presentation of a 4-year-old child reporting with an extensive involvement of oral cavity with erythematous, ulcerative, and pigmented areas associated with drug intake.
