“…“Lichenoid” is a term frequently used in anatomopathological reports that could condition the clinical diagnosis. The description of a juxtaepithelial lymphocytic‐infiltrate band (JLIB) associated with ED, OSCC, and VC highlights that these histological findings are not specific for OLP/OLL 23‐25 . Histopathological features of OLP include JLIB that is confined to the superficial part of the connective tissue, signs of hydropical degeneration of the basal and/or suprabasal cell layers with keratinocyte apoptosis and hyperkeratosis 1 .…”

Background Multiple white plaques of the oral mucosa are usually associated with potentially malignant disorders such as oral lichen planus, oral lichenoid lesions and proliferative verrucous leukoplakia. Previous studies in the current literature describe a potential clinical overlap in these entities. The aim of this study is to review clinicopathological and evolutive features of these Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders highlighting the dynamic changes of diagnoses. Discussion It was previously hypothesized that a subset of patients with oral lichen planus or oral lichenoid diagnosis, could develop multiple white plaques during the natural history of the disease, fulfilling diagnostic criteria for proliferative verrucous leukoplakia. Consequently, these entities could, under certain conditions, obey a continuum of the same precancerous condition in the context of the field cancerization theory, increasing the risk of malignant transformation. Nevertheless, there is limited scientific evidence concerning this issue. Conclusion Further studies are needed to understand the biological and evolutive features of the link between these oral potentially malignant disorders. Regardless of its diagnosis, these patients with multifocal white lesions must be carefully monitored to detect early malignant transformation.

“…This is rarely the case and, as drug reactions can develop in patients who have been taking a drug for many years. 27 As patients are often on several medications, and drug reactions may take several months to resolve, 28 The disease has two main forms: systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) which affects many organs, and the more benign cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) which is limited to the skin and mucosae. [29][30][31] The clinical picture will vary from patient to patient, but SLE can affect the skin (malar or butterfly rash and disc-shaped, photo sensitive erythematous plaques), mouth (ulceration and red and white patches similar to those in lichen planus), joints (non-erosive arthritis affecting two or more joints), kidneys (proteinuria), nervous system (seizures or psychosis) and also cause cardiac and haematological disturbance (anaemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopaenia).…”

Oral Lichenoid and Lichen Planuslike Lesions

Many red and white lesions of the mouth are clinically indistinguishable from those of oral lichen planus (OLP). These lesions, often referred to as oral lichenoid lesions (OLL), can occur as a result of contact sensitivity (lichenoid contact reactions), drug reactions or as part of chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD). Oral lesions in discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can also have a similar clinical appearance to OLP. Distinguishing oral lichen planus from oral lichenoid lesions, lupus lesions, or other red and white lesions of the mouth can be difficult (even impossible) but it is important, for optimal management of each condition. All patients with red and white pathological lesions should be referred to an oral medicine or a local oral or maxillofacial surgery department, where a biopsy and other investigations can help to establish a diagnosis, and appropriate treatment and monitoring can be commenced. Dentists and other members of the dental team, such as hygienists and dental therapists, should also equip themselves with the knowledge to be able to explain different pathologies of the mouth to their patients and discuss risk factors.
