  • Title: Oral lichen planus in childhood: a report of three cases.
    Author: Patel S, Yeoman CM, Murphy R.
    Journal: Int J Paediatr Dent; 2005 Mar; 15(2):118-22. PubMed ID: 15790369.
    Abstract:
    Lichen planus is a common mucocutaneous condition in which the occurrence of oral lesions has been cited as between 0.5 and 1.9% of the adult population. It is rare in childhood. Here we report three cases of children with intra oral lesions of lichen planus. Lichen planus, although reportedly rare in childhood, should be considered in the diagnosis of hyperkeratotic or erosive lesions of the oral mucosa in children.
