Abstract
29 - year Lichen planus is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune skin disease, that is often manifested, except on the skin, in the oral cavity in a variety of clinical forms. The prevalence of the disease in the general population is about 1-2%. Etiopathogenesis is not still well understood. Histopathology, in addition to the basic methods, anamnesis and physical examination, is vital for proper diagnosis of oral lichen planus (OLP). Very diverse and loaded histological findings are common for all forms of oral lichen planus. We reported the case of oral lichen planus in a 49 years old male patient, who presented to the Dentistry clinic of Medical faculty of Priština with burning and itching symptoms and changes in the buccal mucosa. Histopathological analysis of biopsy tissue conformed clinical diagnosis of lichen planus. Due to the possibility for malignant transformation of lesions, the long-term follow-up of patients with this disease is of great importance.

Veoma raznolika i bogata histološka slika je zajednička karakteristika svih oblika oralnog lihen planusa. U radu je prikazan slučaj oralnog lihen planusa kod pacijenta starosti 49 godina koji se javio na Kliniku za stomatologiju, Medicinskog fakulteta Priština, zbog simptoma žarenja i pečenja kao i promena na obraznoj sluzokoži. Prevalenca oboljenja sa oralnom lokalizacijom u opštoj populaciji kreće se od 0.1% do 2.2%, sa većom učestalošću kod žena starosti između 40 i 50 godina [1,2]. Prva saznanja o ovoj bolesti potiču iz 1869.godine, kada je Erasmus Wilson opisao promene kod tri bolesnika i definisao ih kao lichen planus mucosae [3], dok je Dubreuilh 1906 godine. Veoma raznolika i bogata histološka slika je zajednička karakteristika svih oblika lihen planusa. Cilj ovog rada je prikaz slučaja oralnog lihen planusa kod pacijenta muškog pola uz predstavljanje kliničko histoloških karakteristika bolesti
