Multifaceted lichen planus: Vulvovaginal-gingival syndrome with coexisting cutaneous, nail, and hair manifestations in a singular clinical saga.

Abstract

Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory disorder primarily affecting the skin and mucous membranes, characterized by pruritic, violaceous papules often exhibiting a polygonal pattern. This dermatological disorder can affect various sites of the body, including the skin, nails, hair, and mucous membranes out of which the oral mucosa is the most commonly affected. We report a case of a 40-year-old female with a unique combination of cutaneous, nail, and mucosal LP manifestations coexisting with lichen planopilaris and vulvovaginal-gingival syndrome.
