“…Lichen planus isolated to a single oral site other than the gingiva is uncommon. Patients with isolated lip lesions (Allan and Buxton, 1996) and tongue lesions (Andreasen, 1968) have been described although many patients who present with isolated lesions eventually develop more widespread disease.…”

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a relatively common chronic inflammatory disorder affecting stratified squamous epithelia. Whereas in the majority of instances, cutaneous lesions of lichen planus (LP) are self-limiting and cause itching, oral lesions in OLP are chronic, rarely undergo spontaneous remission, are potentially premalignant and are often a source of morbidity. Current data suggest that OLP is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease in which auto-cytotoxic CD8+ T cells trigger apoptosis of oral epithelial cells. The characteristic clinical aspects of OLP may be sufficient to make a correct diagnosis if there are classic skin lesions present. An oral biopsy with histopathologic study is recommended to confirm the clinical diagnosis and mainly to exclude dysplasia and malignancy. The most commonly employed and useful agents for the treatment of lichen planus (LP) are topical corticosteroids but other newer agents are available.

“…One patient presented with erosive lesions with swelling and crusting, which resolved completely with oral acitretin and prednisone 1 . Another case showed irregular white streaks in a reticular pattern, which healed with betamethasone valerate 0.1% cream 2 . A third patient with long‐standing LP of the vermilion border and skin of the lower lip was successfully treated with chloroquine phosphate 3 .…”

Lichen planus (LP) is an inflammatory disease that may involve multiple skin sites as well as mucous membranes, hair follicles and nails. It rarely occurs on the lips and usually then in association with oral lesions. We report a 43-year-old man with a 7-month history of inflammation and erosive lesions of the lower lip. Histopathological and immunofluorescence studies showed features of LP. Local treatment with betamethasone dipropionate 0.5% ointment led to complete resolution within 1 month. Four months later, the patient developed typical cutaneous LP. Isolated LP of the lip is unusual, although this condition may be underestimated and therefore under-reported in the literature.

“…But the palate, floor of month, lips and any area of the oral cavity may also be affected. LP of the lips usually has oral lesions elsewhere, but when in isolation they are reported as ILPL [6]. A bipolar LP of gingiva and vulva has been described as vulvovaginal-gingival LP syndrome [7] in which other mucosae may be involved as well.…”

We report upon a case of 62 years old Saudi male with non-Hodgkin lymphoma who developed lichen planus (LP) on the inner aspect of the upper lip six months after finishing radiotherapy. The diagnosis of LP was confirmed by histopathology. Literature review reveals few countable similar reports of “post radiotherapyoral LP (OLP)”. However, the isolated location of lichen planus on the upper lip per se in this case merits reporting being exceptional and reported before as isolated lichen planus of the lips (ILPL). We assume, after screening literature, that this is the first report of post radiotherapy ILPL in Arabian Gulf countries, though it may be underestimated and underreported. The etiological relation between radiotherapy and LP is discussed
