Oral cavity consists of a small vestibule and a larger oral cavity proper. A wide number of dermatological conditions can affect the oral cavity. The clinical characteristics of the same were studied in patients attending departments of Dermatology/ENT Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences, Dehradun. To delineate and identify the various patterns of oral dermatological conditions in this part of the country. One hundred and fifty patients were included in the study having oral lesions irrespective of age, sex and duration. Clinical examination including cutaneous examination and simple investigations like routine blood, urine, stool, blood sugar, KOH mount and scraping, Tzanck test, and on certain cases biopsy were carried out. Out of 11,840 patients attending Dermatology/ENT OPD, HIMS, Dehradun from April 2008 to March 2009, 150 patients were having various disorders with oral manifestations. The incidence of oral cavity dermatoses in this study was 1.26%, male to female ratio was 2:3. (Out of 150 patients, 60 were males and 90 were females). Aphthous ulcer (28.57%) and pemphigus vulgaris (26.60%) formed the major bulk of patients followed by SLE (17.02%), oral candidiasis (16.07%), DLE (13.83%), lichen planus (12.77%) and others.

“…LP can manifest at any age, preferentially between 30 and 60 years of age [12]. LP is uncommon in childhood, as only 1-3 % of patients are children [9,13,14]. LP can occur in its diverse cutaneous manifestations alone or in combination with mucosal lichen planus or in the event of subungual location with lichen planus of the nails.…”

SummaryLichen planus is characterized by lichenoid, polygonal papules with fine white lines, called Wickham striae. Lesions most commonly occur on the limbs and on the dorsal aspect of the trunk. At the same time often leukoplakia of mucous membranes as well as nail disorders are seen.There are numerous variants of lichen planus which can be distinguished from the classical form on the basis of morphology and distribution of the lesions. The typical primary lesion of lichen planus may be replaced by other forms, such as patches, hyperkeratoses, ulcerations, or bullous lesions. Moreover, distribution patterns of these lesions may vary and include erythrodermic, inverse or linear arrangements. In contrast to these numerous clinical features, histologic findings remain characteristic in the variants, so that the diagnosis can be made securely. Differential diagnoses of lichen planus include diverse dermatoses such as bullous pemphigoid or paronychia.

“…Out of which only seven children had a concomitant involvement of the oral mucosa and only one patient had oral lesions without cutaneous involvement. [9] A retrospective study by Chatterjee et al, 2012 described twenty-two children with OLP and the most common clinical form was found to be an erosive type, manifesting mainly in buccal mucosa.…”

Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic autoimmune mucocutaneous disease that predominantly affects adults and occurs less frequently in the pediatric patients. Oral LP in childhood is a rare entity with very few cases cited in the literature. The objective of this paper is to contribute a clinically and histologically documented case of juvenile oral LP to the literature. Despite the fact of rare occurrence, early identification and diagnosis of this condition by dental specialists can have a huge impact on the oral health of affected pediatric patients.

Childhood lichen planus: a study of 87 cases

Abstract: The natural history of LP in children was essentially similar to that in adults. Unusual features, such as involvement of the palms and soles and upper eyelids, were observed. Actinic LP, mimicking melasma, as reported in adult women, also seems to occur in children.
