Abstract
Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory condition that can affect the skin, mucous membranes, hair, and nails. Its overall prevalence varies from 0.1% to 4% of the global population. Mucosal lichen planus primarily affects the oral mucosa, followed by the genital mucosa, esophagus, and nasopharynx in decreasing order of frequency, with a well-established clinical appearance and histological features that aid in diagnosis [1].
