Summary: | Lichen Planus is a muco-cutaneous disorder affecting
females. The oral lesions precede the skin lesions, with
malignant potential rate, ranging from 0.3 to 3%. Malignant
changes are usually associated with stress and cocarcinogens.
Usually, malignant transformation is
presented as solitary lesion in the oral cavity, Oral Squamous
Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), developing at multiple
sites, as a very rare finding in patients of Oral Lichen
Planus (OLP). A case of OLP without risk factors and
strong history of stress, the Grinspan syndrome with field
cancerization is presented in this article |
