Abstract
We read with interest the article by Bombeccari et al.,1 titled “Oral lichen planus and malignant transformation: a longitudinal study.” This study is one of the few prospective studies on this subject and reports an annual malignant transformation of 0.36%, which is consistent with the data in the published literature.2 The authors state that the revised and modified inclusion criteria proposed by van der Meij et al.3 for oral lichen planus (OLP) was used in the study. On cross referencing, however, we find that these criteria are not reflected as such in the presentation of their results, as the authors fail to make a distinction between OLP and oral lichenoid lesions (OLLs).
