Abstract
Lichenoid changes in the oral mucosa can be encountered in a wide range of lesions with varied etiologies including immune-mediated disorders, reactions to systemic medications and to dental materials. Dysplasia of the oral cavity can exhibit a lichenoid histology, which may mask the potentially cancerous component. Another unusual clinical disease, proliferative verrucous leukoplakia, can often mimic oral lichen planus clinically requiring careful correlation of the clinical and pathologic features.
